After a short summer recess, the Farmhouse Podcast is back!

Henry King joins us today for a lively dialogue on innovation (turns out there is quite a lot businesses can learn from British garden birds). You'll be surprised to know that this frequent contributor to Fast Company (and author of the blog "Man of String," a place for "improbable ideas, unlikely theories, and other fancies") believes in thinking inside the box - not outside of it.

Henry, a leading innovation consultant and part-time faculty member at IIT and SAIC ( and long-time observer of invasive species) stopped by to discuss the critical importance of defining structure before disrupting it – applying the rules of the animal kingdom to the concrete jungle. Press play to learn about the true value of a Classics major, why brands should behave more like Asian carp, the supreme value of collaboration in creativity.
