I don’t know about you, but I’m just about ready to say the above, loudly and clearly, uncensored. I am about to give up on the whole idea of helping corporates to build a more innovative culture, to help them to create new innovative products, to dig deep into their customer’s jobs-to-be-done, and solve them.…

I interviewed all sorts of interesting people on my show – a few weeks ago, I interviewed George Aye, who started an agency that only works with non-profits. He told me of a fascinating culture at their organization that sounded amazing and opposed from most of the other “agency” cultures I’ve ever been involved with.…

I recently returned from a week in Palm Springs. Being a digital nomad, I find that I can work from anywhere in the world. Still, it helps when I’m in the contiguous United States; as most of my customers are scattered across North America, it’s easier to get on Zoom calls and connect with the…

Have you ever sat back and realized that all you do is work? Work work work. We literally have no free time to do anything but our core jobs. Especially in these times where things change from moment to moment. We are currently living through an exciting time in history – it’s a time when…

Have you ever noticed that almost everything in our world ends up in two camps? Democrat or Republican, Liberal or Conservative, Jeep or Bronco, Black or White, Male or female? For some reason, we tend to simplify things down to a binary choice – maybe it’s easier for our brains to process – instead of…

Our world is rife with many examples of unintended consequences. Is it really possible that most people don’t think about the far-reaching effects of their actions and only focus on the short-term benefits? Not so surprising when you realize that very few individuals think or plan further than a few weeks or months out. When…

There’s that famous saying again – when you are trying to start a new process, create a new product or service and are unsure of the reaction to that process, product or service, we look back at that phrase and use it to justify just barreling ahead with whatever we are planning to do –…

If there is one thing that I have noticed after interviewing hundreds of humans for my podcast is that most people who are in the innovation space end up there due to an amazingly diverse background. Some come from the product space, others from the technology space, still others come from the design space. One…
