We came here for Katie to learn Jazz piano, to go to the bars and listen to jazz and soak up the food and culture.  3 or 4 days after we arrived here, the state shut down all restaurants, bars, clubs, events, gyms etc. and the city went on lock-down. 

We now have many hours on our hands and I am wondering what to do with them!  What am I going to build?  What am I going to learn?  What am I going to create?

I don't see the rate of change slowing down, I can't foresee the next black swan event and I have given up trying to predict what is going to happen next.  What I am working on is how I react and I want to share some thoughts that I think will give you comfort and inspiration in these dark and changing times...…...

Finally I asked the director of innovation "How about we do ….. to change it?"  He looked me straight in the eye and without a hint of irony said "This is not something we can change!"

I left that meeting feeling shocked, confused and with a question burning within me "How do you create a vibrant positive entrepreneurial culture in your business and what stops people from doing this?"
