Appearance in “Mountain Money” Podcast

by | Jan 8, 2024

In my appearance on an episode of “Mountain Money,” I had the opportunity to share my insights on Creative Problem-Solving with the audience. In this episode, Carl Richards and I explored the concept of “solving the real problem,” emphasizing that what people often think is the problem is not the problem at all. It could be a symptom of the problem, or what the boss thinks is the problem, or a knee jerk reaction to the problem. The live broadcast delved into redefining problem-solving in a business context and highlighted some common misconceptions in identifying real problems.
