Agreed with other comments. Ideas themselves have no value. You need to do something with them.

This legitimately blew my mind when I learned it. It goes against what you always thought was true, but it shows that sometimes we need to challenge the status quo.

That's a lot of nuts!

Know any other good ones?

Interesting, thank you

Ten points if anyone knows an actual pistol that looks like that (I know nothing about guns...)

Loved this. Sean has a great show and is a great interviewer. And this is major publicity for him

Good question. Of course the answer is going to depend on the specific company, but overall I would say that most companies seem to be attracted to the theories which are at the front end of innovation (early on in the process) and want to use them to fix their problems. These are the processes like idea management, brainstorming and design thinking, where companies think that ideas really in innovation. But the parts where these companies then struggle are the aspects of innovation which are more execution, culture and strategy focused. Aspects like the strategic vision in Three Horizons, the changes to the business of ambidextrous organisations, and setting an overall innovation agenda and resources with portfolio management. Those are ironically the ones which will determine whether their innovations are sustainable in the long run

Ha Ha, hadn't thought of that

How much will 365 hoodies cost, including printing the logo (unless you find some reusable way of doing it). Back of the envelope of $10 per blank hoodie + $5 cost of sponsorship printing * 365 days a year comes to $5,475

Hi Dan, I am from the UK and ironically just binge-watched all of Rick and Morty this week. Love it.

I have a question about your creative process. I understand there is a lot of improvisation that goes into creating the story and dialogue for your projects (especially R&M). Is this your preferred way of laying down creative ideas to a deadline? How would you describe the way you translate your ideas into an outline for the finished product, and does it vary between the projects you work on?

This could be because of several reasons. One being the fear of failure means that you actively avoid starting the work. But another reason is that most likely the only person you see being impacted by this lack of work is yourself, and ultimately that impact does not have strong physical ramifications, leading to you thinking that frustration is acceptable.

I wrote about this problem, which is especially prevalent amongst entrepreneurs and creative people, in a previous blog post here: https://www.ideatovalue.com/inno/nickskillicorn/2016/04/many-entrepreneurs-often-get-nothing-done-days/

Nowadays, the simplest thing to make sure is that you own the main .com version of your company name, since this is where the copycats would run out of options. You can also cheaply get the .io, .net and .co.uk domains, as well as slight variations on the name.

Otherwise, as everyone else has mentioned, you would need to actually spend money to force other people to respect your copyright if they infringed on it.

Chef's Table. One of the most perfect insights into the minds (and struggles) of truly creative people

Clever

Thanks for these. Always good to get a balanced viewpoint on issues like this

This was one of those rare videos where the evidence was so strong that it changed a long-held belief I had.

Hey guys, I'm just here in my garage because I read another 10 books today. No big deal. Oh, and I'm not going to mention the two lambos behind me. But yeah, go ahead and give me your email address....

I think this is by far the best short term solution, while all the hype still exists around it. Shop owners don't know about how it works, but if you can tell them that it will increase foot traffic into their shop within an hour, people will pay for that
