This week, NPR dedicated an entire episode of its popular show the TED Radio Hour to the origins of creativity, the state of the creative universe, and what Artist Corporations might do about it. The show's 48 minutes cover a lot of ground, from the origins of the concept of “creativity” in America (as recounted in the recommended book “The Cult of Creativity” by Samuel L. Franklin) to how it’s evolved into the vibrant world of culture and the so-called Creator Economy we have today. Listen at NPR.org or here: Our favorite part: hearing clips from nearly a dozen members of the A-Corp community sharing why they're drawn to the idea and how the current system fails to account for their needs. The range of experiences and backgrounds reminds us of this chart we made for a recent post mapping the different roles creative people play: To have the story told and documented by the excellent team at NPR is remarkable. The segment also includes news on where we are on the process (big things are happening!) that we’ll talk more about soon. You can feel how much research and work went into this excellent program. It represents a significant deepening of our collective understanding of creativity, the challenges we as creative people face, and the potential of Artist Corporations. Give it a listen and share widely! Step by step y'all,
Yancey
