I'm coining a new term: the Enthusiasm Economy. On the last episode of The Couple's Table, I had a revelation mid-stream and I came up with the Enthusiasm Economy. It addresses all the concerns I would bump into when I talked about the Passion Economy and I just think it's a better way to describe what I've been talking about. My brain is still digesting everything but here are my initial thoughts.
