    Connection, Community & Innovation. The Aerotropolis with Dr. Stuart C. Mendel

    Imagine advancing local+global connection, economic development, entrepreneurship, transportation and community-development… all through an existing asset. That asset is the major airport. A new kind of community and economic engine can be built within and around existing airports if we are inventive in our coordination, collaboration and collective will. We’re talking about the idea of an Aerotropolis. In Cleveland, it’s the Aerozone Alliance, a partnership of economic jewels; Cleveland-Hopkins International Airport, NASA Glenn Research Center and surrounding communities. More on the Aerozone Alliance is found, here: https://www.aerozonealliance.org  Host Craig James chats with Dr. Stuart C. Mendel, the founding executive director of the Aerozone Alliance.

    Getting Honest with Ourselves with Davidione Pearl

    Humanity is at an inflection point. We can spiral up to abundance and equity—or spiral down into division and despair. It’s up to us. All of us. To chart a positive path, we need to have the tough conversations and challenge our assumptions. We need to talk about race, economic/health disparity… and more. Looking at history is useful, too. Not just the recent past, but back hundreds of years. Seek to understand the roots of our thinking+systems and have the courage to challenge them. We also need to ask big basic questions such as, “What is the role of government and what is government in the first place?" Can we find solutions to the greatest problems of our country and world? Absolutely. Together. Listen to a conversation that is both sobering and hopeful. Global and local. Host Craig James talks with Davidione Pearl, social/eco activist, artist, international travel writer and musician. They discuss how we (all) can live our lives in service to others—before and after we die.

    Entrepreneur-ing is changing, quickly… with Grant Marquit

    What makes a stink bug an entrepreneur? Maybe he takes more risk than other stink bugs do. Maybe he sees patterns that the other little creatures don’t. The entrepreneur-stink-bug’s friends tend not to understand him. Whether stink bug or human being—being an entrepreneur is a unique thing. It’s a way of being and thinking—not just a function of “doing". Not all of us are one. Not all of us should be one. Entrepreneurs tend to capably imagine, invent and convert ideas into reality. But the game of entrepreneurship is changing. Adaptation and agility—as well as embracing employees and customers in new ways—are becoming increasingly essential to the entrepreneur. In this episode of Big Audacious Idea, host Craig James is joined by Grant Marquit; environmentalist, artist, and program consultant at The Entrepreneurs EDGE. Together, they discuss all things entrepreneurial. Learn more about Grant's work here. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Public Space, Nature, Art + Humans, Connection with Mac Love and Shanelle Smith Whigham

    The very act of creating art is the art. Creative Contact is when we do so, together. Creative Contact helps us truly tune into (and understand) each other. And, when we do it right, we integrate life, humanity, place-making and nature.  We can redefine what public spaces mean—and how we experience them. And sometimes, it’s the little things that matter the most.  Creator of public art Mac Love of ART x LOVE and Shanelle Smith Whigham, Vice President, Sustainability & Social Impact at KeyBank and former State Director of the Trust for Public Land in Ohio, join host Craig James in this episode of Big Audacious Idea. Together, they discuss community living and how unique approaches to human engagement can help us cope (and support each other) during a pandemic—and beyond.
