From its humble beginnings in May 2005, Of Two Minds now attracts some 300,000 visits a month.

Show Highlights:
-Have we really lost our manufacturing jobs or have they just changed?

-Why there’s value in higher human interaction; would we really want to go to a restaurant and be served by a robot?
-Acquiring more skills to become permanently employed
-Learning how project management works
-There’s no evidence that the higher education system is really teaching the life skills to really build a career; why a diploma is not enough
-Enthusiasm, passion, invention and persistence will get you everywhere
-The internet as an essential part of a new economy
-There are nooks and crannies which are not being filled by big corporations; this is the community economy
-Relocalizing and bringing manufacturing back to the U.S.; we’re in the beginning of a new industrial age
-Steps to become self employed
-How important will diplomas be in the future?
-Knowledge is now basically free with all the information on the internet; take advantage of it and improve your skills and gain new ones
-Trust the network, not the government
and more!
