When solving difficult problems that require unorthodox thinking, it’s crucial that you remember APATHY: Acronyms Probably Aren’t That Helpful, Yo.

More importantly, I will share lessons learned about creativity, passion, and human potential during my year with Angus MacGyver. Dust off your leather jacket and roll up those tube socks; we’re going to hit the ground running!
