Carla White originally thought she would write a quick ebook over the weekend. Months later she published her first ebook: Ideas to Apps.
Years later the publishing houses took notice and asked her to create her ebook in to a full-fledged book. The result: Idea to iPhone. Here new book helps "ideapreneuers," defined as people with ideas but who aren't sure how to execute their ideas. Ideapreneuers with an app idea can read her book and bring their app to life...even if they aren't a developer.

Hiring women is not the right thing to do. Hiring women is the only thing to do for businesses and auto dealerships that want to succeed. Gender-diverse companies are more profitable, creative, and attractive places to work. Millennials are attracted to diverse businesses and  flexible workplaces. Diversity is a key factor that attracts the “creative class” (as Richard Florida calls people who work in fields that require problem-solving). Diverse communities are creative communities, and they’re better equipped to keep up in the digital age. The cumulative results of a gender-diverse society are breathtaking. As Alec Ross notes, “States and societies that most systematically and intentionally advantage the position of women in business and in the economy . . . are those that compete and succeed.”

Women in Leadership: The Best Way to Grow a Business and Community

We live in echo chambers, and it's killing our republic. As websites increasingly track and customize what we see based on our interests, we are rarely exposed to new and challenging ideas . . . unless we mindfully curate our educational cuisine. There are three ways to build a mindful echo chamber -- and myriad ways why it's important to do so. Join Scott Meyer as we walk along the Mississippi River and share a bid idea on building your business and community in this week's Digital Homesteading.

Create a Mindful Echo Chamber

Let me introduce you to this world-changer: Gary Greff. He was a teacher, with a background in education and physical education. He came home to Regeant, ND, population 125, and he saw something that frightened him. I’ll let him pick up the story about the Enchanted Highway and how to save a community with a bold idea.

Building the Enchanted Highway with Gary Greff

Greg Tehven has made it his life's mission to make Fargo the greatest city on earth. Rather than build a list of residents to email them about upcoming events, he focuses on building relationships.
As he notes, this is a generational project and much like the Lutheran Church where he grew up, he's in it for the long haul. By filling a room with people he cares about, he has been able to create great change.
In this episode learn about the importance of offline connections and their ability to create change for businesses and communities.

Fill a Room, Not a List

Unique experience provides an opportunity for one-of-a-kind creation. As businesses and communities we need to focus on local problems. In looking at local problems we have an "imagination differentiation" that enables us to see solutions others miss. This breds imaginative creation that can exported to similar communities around the globe.
