Richard Fobes is the author of The Creative Problem Solver's Toolbox which is a how-to book on creative problem solving. It has been published around the world in ten languages.
The story of The Goat Spitting Secret arose in Richard's mind as a dialog between different voices in his head. These different voices arose because Richard has experienced, at least briefly, being a corporate CEO, homeless person, commodity trader, manual laborer, business owner, hardware store clerk, landlord, renter, only male or only native English speaker in a household, member of a Christian religion created by a woman, physics student, grad student, atmospheric scientist, software developer, contract technical writer, neighborhood organizer, election-method expert, inventor, dance performance group leader, and dance instructor.
Here are links to a video of Richard Fobes dancing at a Zydeco dance camp, and a video that begins with Richard Fobes introducing himself.
