Everyone Is...with Jennifer Coronado
The intent of this show is to engage with all types of people and build an understanding that anyone who has any kind of success has achieved that success because they are creative thinkers. So whether you are an artist, a cook, a bottle washer, or an award-winning journalist, everyone has something to contribute to the human conversation.

The Children
Join us in this special mini-episode of "Everyone Is," with a story told through the eyes of kids age 6-16. This intro to Season 2, focuses on kid's answers to the questions "What does imagination mean to you?" and "What do you want to be when you grow up?" We hope you find their answers not just amusing, but also insightful. From envisioning a snail driving a boat to aspiring careers in fashion design and forensic science, these kids remind us that creativity knows no bounds, and that imagination is a life skill we should never give up on.
Welcome to Season 2!

What's up party people? We're about to launch into season two of Everyone Is and we thought, coming into this season, it would be a great opportunity to take a step back and say why are we doing this? Do we still think that everyone has a spark of creativity in them? Do we still think we have opportunities to discover that with different folks, does that creative opportunity feed into what they've become? But we didn't feel like we could find all the answers to the whys without having a bit more input from other people. So in this mini episode you aren't really going to hear much from me. You're going to hear from a group of kids between the ages of 6 and 16, and they were asked two questions what does imagination mean to you and what do you want to be when you grow up? So enough from me. Now let's hear from the children.

Speaker 3:Jacqueline 6. My name is Owen and I'm 7 years old. Imagination means to me, when you're like imagining that you can have as much candy as you want at your house. It means that we can make something up that's not real, something random, like unicorns.
