Don The Idea Guy
Brilliant!
Possessing creative powers beyond those of mere mortals, Don The Idea Guy rescues those in need of innovative ideas through his brainstorming sessions, articles, and web sites - www.dontheideaguy.com and www.ideabarista.com. His blog Brain!Blog provides a regular dose of creative thinking and he is an official contributor to the DuctTapeMarketing blog as well.
Don pays special attention to business and social trends, creating ideas averaging six months ahead of the early adopter curve. I added Don as an important member of our team as we were introducing Personal Brilliance. He is certainly brilliant. The reason I've asked him to share with us here in this podcast is because he is an expert at thinking through a problem and identifying a number of actionable opportunities within the problem.
