old wheels...

"reinventing the wheel"

tends to be a saying people laugh at and question.

Why even think about recreating something that has worked for centuries?

Unfortunately and fortunately,

we're in a time where most people are reinventing their "wheel".

For millions, this has been a time to think... reflect...

and decide on a new chart to course.

The Great Depression, one of our country's darkest economic times, gave light to some of the most beautiful and influential inventions that we still use today...

JET ENGINES

MUSIC AMPLIFIERS (Leo Fender)

CAR RADIOS & FM RADIO

HELICOPTERS

RADAR TECHNOLOGY

POLARIOD PHOTOGRAPHY

& CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

... just to name a few.

(continued below photo...)

All these creators had a common thread binding them together.

They faced a deficit...

their backs were against the wall...

and they had to reinvent themselves.

Being thrusted into discomfort forces us all to solve problems,

innovate...

unite and collaborate...

I believe firmly that this bump in our road has

boundless potential for discovery and creativity.

Big or small we have the power...

the power to decide...
