Two thought leaders visit Charlotte and join the 1st episode of the Charlotte Is Creative Podcast
CreativeMornings/Charlotte is gaining a reputation for playing host to interesting, locally-sourced speakers at its monthly meetings, but their last meeting on Jan. 6 welcomed two well-known and respected thought leaders visit Charlotte on the same morning.
Jonathan Fields, founder of The Good Life Project, was the keynote speaker, delivering a talk about the importance of embracing mystery in your personal and creative life. You can watch his talk in the video below courtesy of The Charlotte Star Room.
Tina Roth Eisenberg, a friend of Fields and founder of CreativeMornings, dropped in for a surprise visit — her first to Charlotte. She shared her thoughts on the development of the Queen City’s creative community and the local chapter of CreativeMornings.
With two such guests in the room at the same time, the CreativeMornings/Charlotte team took the opportunity to speak with Fields and Eisenberg about their respective organizations and movements and their relevance in wake of a challenging year, their impressions of the creative community here and some words of advice fir Charlotte. You can listen to this conversation on the first episode of the “Charlotte Is Creative” podcast below.
