I’ve argued before that creativity is the most important skill for entrepreneurs because before you can sell anything, you have to create that value proposition. But what if you’re not creative? I believe we all have that innate creative spirit in us somewhere, it’s just a matter of flexing that creative muscle. In this episode, I talk with Carol "Stash" Stanley of StashSports.com, and David Fedewa who is an inventor mentor at InventRight.com.
