This episode gives you a front row seat and a VIP pass behind the scenes at the July 21st Pub Talk held at Maxwell's in Downtown Redding. 30-40 people gathered to engage the question "How do you have a good idea." It was facilitated by Joshua David Miller, CEO of Mindbox Studio (www.mindboxstudio.com) and sponsored by Ikon School of Entrepreneurship (www.ikonsoe.com). We hope that listening to this experience will encourage and excite you towards building your own ideas because we learned that entrepreneurs are not people who have good ideas, they are people who are willing to do the work of making bad ideas great.
