The most promising ideas begin from novelty and then add familiarity.

When trying to innovate, most people stop after 10-15 possibilities, failing to recognize that their first ideas are usually the most obvious ones.

It definitely helps to have a familiarity with their system and their personnel. I don't think Gregg is trying to re-invent the wheel since I left. They are doing a lot of the same things they were doing when I was there.

Convictions in our ideas is dangerous not only because it leaves us vulnerable to false positives, but also because it stops us from generating the requisite variety to reach our creative potential.

If you want your children to bring original ideas into the world, you need to let them pursue their passions, not yours.

I love discovering compelling new ideas and doing what I can to help spread the word about them.
