The business has a knack for finding and cultivating talent of a certain kind.
Dimas Guardado, at Model View Culture:
It's telling that we continue to look for answers to the manufactured "talent shortage" in children, rather than in communities of adults around us. There is much that has yet to be discussed about how we as practitioners can identify and reach more of our colleagues that current professional events do not reach. Conferences and meetups, blogs and books, academic theory and the folk knowledge of professional networks often tend to reach people already tapped into those networks. For this reason, it is important to encourage these networks and events to continue to expand their reach with more accessible pricing structures, more inclusive social practices, and more protective behavior policies.
