A fascinating NASA study in the 1960 reveals that a staggering 98% of children aged 3-5 were creative geniuses. But by adulthood, only 2% retained that genius label. What happened along the way? 🤔

These insights and much more were uncovered in a truly enlightening conversation I had with Audrey Hametner, the visionary CEO and Founder of The Bedrock Program.

With her extensive experience in global business operations and finance management, Audrey established The Bedrock Program with a noble goal: to nurture the confidence of the next generation. Her aim is to forge motivated, engaged, resilient, proactive, and successful leaders in both the community and the corporate world, all by tapping into the transformative power of values!

There's way much more to uncover, but I'll let you explore that in this inspiring episode of the 'Mind My Business' podcast.

Note: I listened to this episode at least 8 times. I just cannot get enough of it!

Thank you Audrey!
