Charles Adler of Lost Arts shares his insight on where we are culturally and our opportunity to change the notion of the past by examining how rules are temporary.
Rules defined today can be broken tomorrow. Charles details how the notion that the world is in a constant state of change creates opportunity and empowers individuals to make change in it. He describes how iterating through Proof-of-Concepts informed Kickstarter and his latest endeavor, Lost Arts.
The Chicago chapter of CreativeMornings is organized by Kim Knoll & Kyle Eertmoed of Knoed Creative. Follow along with us at @Chicago_CM!
