What is interesting to me is to find ways to work with early-stage innovators to build from the edge and work on tomorrow's ideas.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most of my ideas are based on the latest research on productivity, performance and mental mastery - that's why so many iconic companies bring me in to help them grow and win.
Taking a great new idea with an entrepreneurial team that wants to create something significant and trying to build a real company is what is interesting.
Most of my ideas come from drawing patterns across conversations I have with different types of people - technology investors, young fashion design students, a CEO. This variety is stimulating and offers many different perspectives on the things I am thinking about.
One of the things that I've always loved to do is brainstorm ideas with friends and get together and talk about what they're building... Essentially, my day-to-day is just going around and meeting entrepreneurs and talking to them about what they plan on launching.
What I love about the creative process, and this may sound naive, but it is this idea that one day there is no idea, and no solution, but the next day there is an idea. I find that incredibly exciting and conceptually actually remarkable.
I'm always working on concepts and ideas for the future.
I know the rewards of focusing on innovation and outcomes as opposed to hours. I've been fortunate to work with brilliant entrepreneurs who didn't have years of experience, and yet they changed the world.
The breakthrough innovations come when the tension is greatest and the resources are most limited. That's when people are actually a lot more open to rethinking the fundamental way they do business.
Usually my ideas for work have revolved around my interest in people, especially people that live on the edges of society.
Ideas are cheap. Always be passionate about ideas and communicating those ideas and discoveries to others in the things you make.
