Biennial of the Americas

So what is the Biennial?  The Biennial of the Americas is an international festival of ideas, art, and culture hosted in Denver, Colorado, that provides a nonpartisan platform for leaders in business, government, civil society, and the arts to examine the significant issues impacting life in the Americas.

This is a quick interview I gave last week to ICOSA Magazine at the Biennial Of The Americas .

I was asked to participate in a half-day session on Creativity and Innovation.  As I noted in the quick interview, my personal interest is in innovating the education system so that our kids are equipped with the skills of creativity and innovation.
