This week’s episode focuses on showing appreciation in our lives in order to build a better life that leverages the positive aspects of our given circumstances. We link the concept of appreciative intelligence to personal development by exploring the opioid-ridden, yet culturally rich region of Central Appalachia. In this episode, we learn about George Mason University Professor, Tojo Thatchenkery’s insights on the strengths of Silicon Valley in creating a highly innovative community. We then hear from Head Luthier of the Appalachian School of Luthiery, Doug Naselroad, and how he’s transforming the lives of recovering drug addicts through stringed-instrument making.
