007 — Thinking Like Leonardo da Vinci with Michael Gelb

May 20

A healer, a famous juggler, and a creativity expert. While it sounds like the set-up for another “walks-into-a-bar” joke, this combination only scratches the surface of what we find when we encounter a man named Michael Gelb. We can add to the list 5th-degree black belt in Akido, colleague of Tony Buzan (creator of the mind map), and Alexander Technique practitioner.

In today’s conversation, Dr. Fred invites Michael Gelb to peel back several layers of the onion and reveal how he became the man he is today.
