STRUCTURE + TANGENTS

In this episode, we address, define, and give real-life examples of words related to our space, the idea industry.

+ We discuss the precursor of every idea, INSPIRATION

+ We ponder the Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of "IDEA" and offer our own interpretation

+ We explore three distinct flavors of ideas: INVENTIONS, INNOVATIONS, and DISRUPTIONS

+ We explain an idea can hatch from either an intentional pursuit of a solution or an unexpected DISCOVERY during experimentation

To review the above, Glen unveils a "freebie" idea. In showing you our process, we hope to prove any unmet need can evolve into a business plan. Not every idea is worth pursuing, but getting in the habit of seeing problems as opportunities can give you an advantage in business - and in life.

Naturally, we pivot toward our values, revisiting sustainability and mindfulness in the context of antique store browsing and tech addictions.

Lastly, in the spirit of creating New Years resolutions, I share one of my personal goals. To take it a step further, I invite you to try silent, tech-less driving. I know it sounds boring, but it's productive. I promise! Glen describes this as a timeout, where you - and only you - are driving your attention. Just follow two simple steps.

TAKE A BREAK from the constant bombardment of notifications

TAKE TIME to mentally coast

Let your mind wander, friends. Why? This is where inspiration strikes!
