Network, Make Friends: The Power of Human Mycelium "Network, make friends. It's such a small world." – Min Bhogaita In our latest episode of The Octopus Movement Podcast, Casey Berman had the pleasure of diving into the world of non-linear thinking with Min Bolgeta, a founding member of our movement and a visionary in the fields of analytics, innovation, and technology startups. Min's journey, from his early days at Deloitte to his current role at Nobody Studios, showcases the transformative power of non-linear thinking. He emphasizes the importance of breaking away from traditional methods and embracing creativity, whether it's using LEGO in workshops or fostering innovation through diverse, crowd-infused ideas. One of the standout moments from our conversation was Min's reflection on the importance of networking and building connections. Just as mycelium networks in nature create a vast, interconnected web that supports and nourishes life, our human connections can foster growth, innovation, and mutual support. By networking and making friends, we tap into a collective intelligence that is far greater than the sum of its parts. Join us as we explore these concepts and more in our engaging and insightful discussion. Let's continue to build our human mycelium and create a world where diverse thinking thrives. 🎧 Watch the full 30 minutes episode on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eGq9isSi Let's connect, share ideas, and support each other in this small world.
