Thinking outside the box begins with, well, somewhat random thoughts. So this is where things go until or unless they should go elsewhere.
Social Distancing is No Heaven

MIT Entrepreneur Bootcamp!

Thinking Outside the Box
The term “Thinking Outside the Box” has an obscure origin, but ultimately can be put into the simple phrase of removing oneself from the boundaries of their normal thought constraints in order to see things from a different perspective. Hi, my name is John Stough and I am an Entrepreneur, Innovator, Software Architect, Management Consultant,…
