Welcome to episode 5 of The Bright Side. We have been away for awhile, but we have three good reasons behind that. First off was the Christmas Holidays. We also want to take some time thinking about how we want to develop the podcast. Finally, I have been busy writing a book called Creativity is Power.

I have been concerned about the future of jobs and how automation will make any job that has logic at the heart disappear. Even traditional professional roles such as accounting, law, and marketing will be affected. Creativity and caring for people are probably the only two things that automation can’t take away. Today, we discuss how our capacity for creativity defines us as human beings.
