Kevin Fisher-Paulsen
“Every breath we take changes us. Every word we utter changes the world.”
Embrace Creativity:
- Creativity is a marathon, not a sprint, and you have to train your body, spirit and mind how to run that long race. Kevin will give you a few exercises in which to build your creative muscles.
