MASS FLOURISHING
IN COLORADO AND BEYOND POINT OF DYNAMIC PLAN.
Group to start study groups using
Edmund Phelps’s new book. Mass Flourishing and James Martin’s Jesuit Guide.
Denver— At an IDEA Salon today, longtime community
activist and adult educator John S Wren announced the preliminary 2014 plans
for the Small Business Chamber of Commerce, Inc, a Colorado non-profit. Everyone
is invited to comment on the dynamic plans at the free IDEA Salon open
discussion meeting, each Friday from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Panera Bread, 13th
& Grant, Denver. Free. For more see http://www.SmallBizChamber.org
or call (303)861-1447
“Since
1727 our mission is to strengthen the grassroots in business and politics
through adult education,” said Wren. “When people ask me who is our other
co-founder, I tell them it’s Ben Franklin. He founded the first startup group
in America, he called it the Junto.”
“We’ve
now joined the Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry and will be
reaching out to the 70 or so local chambers in Colorado who are members of it
and others, helping where we can to provide more real help to startups and
small businesses, and helping to educate everyone in the community about the
realities of the new economy, the return to the vitalism and dynamism that
Nobel economist Edmund Phelps talks about in his new book Mass Flourishing, in light of James Martin’s Jesuit Guide, thinking in line with my Daring Mighty Things—The Simplest Way to Start Your First (or Next) New
Business, and with what Ben Franklin advocated.
“To promote the study groups, next week we’ll announce a
contest we believe will result in more media interest in the Colorado Caucus,
the best chance for the common person to serve in elected public office, than
we’ve seen in the past. More informed participation from those who are new to
Colorado or just new to Colorado politics in our unique, wonderful neighborhood
system for nominating to the primary ballot is needed if the grassroots is
really going to be restored.”
Wren www.JohnWren.com (303)861-1447 attended Denver Thomas Jefferson High School, Cornell
College, the University of Denver (BA’69, MBA’80) and Regis University where he
studied adult learning with an education grant from Charles Schwab. He has been
trained as a Great Books Discussion leader, and he is one of the founders of
Denver Socrates Café, the IDEA Café Startup Workshop, Franklin Circles, and the
Jesuit Guide Faith Sharing Groups. He is the co-founder & CEO of the Small
Business Chamber of Commerce, Inc. whose purpose is to help people create a
Good Living—a useful and necessary product or service, an adequate income, and
personal growth. Edmund Phelps, Mass Flourishing,
Princeton University Press, 2013. James
Martin, The Jesuit Guide to (Almost)
Everything, HarperCollins, 2010. John Wren, Daring Might Things, Creative Space, 1994.

Google searches this past year on "build a website", "telemarketing", "public relations", compared to "recovery" (#1 most popular) and "coaching" which is #2 most used, compared to these other terms.
What does this mean? Using the words coaching and recovery hits consumer hot buttons. We know what to do, we just aren't doing it, that the help we are looking for now.
At least, that's what this trend analysis seems to be saying to me, what do you think?
