Innovation: Have we stopped dreaming?
By not dreaming, by not having the intent to discover, we are putting our culture at a deficit.
If we don’t prepare and plan the succession of individuals, technology and talent for the future we are essentially bankrupting our future.

Don’t stop dreaming.
Creating your own Career Path

The business and product – Truffles.
Most of us would wonder how anyone could make a boat load of money on truffles? However, truffles (a very expensive and rare underground mushroom) are by far the most-expensive ingredient in the culinary world, fetching up to $5000 per pound for the most desired varieties.
This just another example to help you and others like you to stretch your thinking around your career. Regardless of how old or young you are!
