INGENIOUS, my new podcast, is about the courage and ingenuity we all have, and how it can get us out of some of the dark corners we’ve gotten ourselves into. Recorded live and on location, these conversations have been surprising, inspiring, funny, serious, amazing. Learn from and be inspired by a writer, a comedian, a head of state, a conductor, a director, a Nobel laureate. New ideas, orthogonal thinking, great books, and how we can all thrive.
