Zach and Kendra opened up The Penny Ice Creamery (Santa Cruz, CA) last year and last week they posted a video on YouTube that went viral thanking the WH administration, Senators and Representatives for passing the Recovery Act which allowed them to secure funding to open up shop. The video also shows how the loan stimulated local economic activity.

The video eventually made its way to the White House and Vice President Joe Biden gave them a call yesterday. During the call Biden mentions how they wish he’d taken them on the road with them to tell people their story, then he invited them to the White House.

Well done Zach, and congratulations to you and your crew!

Following his 2006 TED presentation, Sir Ken Robinson, educator “creativity expert” (TED), talks about the need and importance for create a new “learning revolution,” one where creativity and diversity of talents is priority #1. He makes a compelling, and urgent, case for this new paradigm and way of looking at our talents (true gifts).

So what do you think?

Can we teach better? Where will the creative solutions, to our future problems, come from? What does that look like?
