Remember MacGyver, and his uncanny knack for getting out of any high-pressure situation with duct tape and pliers?
That may be a TV character, but creativity and unconventional problem solving are in high demand, especially during this past year of the pandemic.
Today, we discuss innovation in times of crisis.
We look at a ventilator developed by Rice University engineering students, now being used to help COVID-19 patients. Also, creativity expert and bestselling author of “The Artist’s Way,” Julia Cameron, talks about her new book, "The Listening Path."
What are your thoughts about innovation and creativity during times of crisis? Are you discovering creative solutions to problems?
