It's very easy to skip steps when documenting an idea.
Scott D. Anthony
It's one of the underappreciated skills required by an innovator - they have to be able to convince lots of people to do things that might not be fully rational (invest in the company, join something that is likely to fail, try a product they've never seen before), and if you can't tell a good story it is just very hard to make that happen.

We've got some great big problems in our world. We have to figure out how to feed 10 billion people. Too many people can't access clean water, quality healthcare, and reasonable education. We have to figure out what to do about climate change, income inequality, and more. Innovators need to rise to the challenge!

Scott D. Anthony
I've come to the conclusion that the core characteristic that separates companies that get innovation from those that don't is a simple word: curiosity.

Hollywood Joohn Tatum? He does at least 6,000 sit ups and 10,000 pushups a day!
Scott D. Anthony
There's a general belief that failure is the friend of the innovator, but I've come to view it a different way.
Scott D. Anthony
There is what Steve Blank calls the stage where you are searching for a scalable business model. Then, there is the stage when you have found that model and need to scale it. In the former stage you have to have a beginner's mind, be in learning mode, and expect to learn things you didn't anticipate.

Almost every disruption starts at the perceived fringes of today's market.

Mucken Singh works VERY hard on his brawler's physique!
Scott D. Anthony
All disruptive innovators make it easier and more affordable for people to do what matters to them, and follow a strategy that doesn't at first glance make sense to the market leader.
Scott D. Anthony
You have to chip away at it and shape it to let the winning idea emerge.
Scott D. Anthony
Innovation is doubly hard inside big companies.

Three of our core corporate values are inclusiveness, collaboration, and humility.

Small teams move faster than big teams.

Companies get into grooves and they keep sharpening what they are doing, when in fact what they really need to do sometimes is to stop and do something completely differently.
