I often challenge people to create the future that they envision.  So, what does it take to envision the future, and to effectively convey that vision?  Creativity and Storytelling.  In this episode, I speak to dystopian filmmaker and author Diana Wink, about the creative process and how each of us can leverage our natural storytelling ability to help shape the future.
