    I enjoyed the podcast.

    The comment about how a negative attitude blocking creativity is behind the inability to come up with a snappy comeback was a nice touch.

    On a more relevant note, the history of creative ideas in your industry is one that I don’t often see in such lists and I agree that it is important. It’s hard to build when you don’t know what has come before and it gives you more to riff off of.

    Thanks Beth, I appreciate your comment. The history of productivity is not something that too many people think about. In order to get to the future of productivity, it is something that we MUST consider.
