Conversations with Charlie Dyer, Guest: Allen Gannett

Everyone has good ideas but few of us rarely act on them. Why is that? I’ll bet you can think of at least one example right now of that “one that got away” because…well…why was it that it got away from you? What’s been stopping you from pursuing that inspiration that seems to come out of nowhere? Why did you dismiss it or just ignore it? Did you think you’re not smart enough and that only natural-born geniuses have what it takes to rise above us mere mortals? That kind of thinking is deeply ingrained in our culture and Allen Gannett, author of The Creative Curve: How to Develop the Right Idea, at the Right Time, says it’s all just a big fat myth.
