Episode Quotes:

Writing a failure resume

So just go and write all the things that you did that didn't work and most critically what you learned from them. And the lesson that you inevitably take when you write a failure resumé is that failure isn't fatal. That you learn something from it. And life goes on.

The characteristics of innovation

I believe everybody has an intrinsic innovator inside of them because the characteristics of innovation are characteristics of human beings as a species. 

Inertia

When you go into a living breathing organization, you have to fight a pretty insidious enemy. And that enemy is inertia. It's the way that things are currently being done.
