The virtue of youth, after all, is that the young don’t know enough to be insiders, cynical with expertise…
We can continue to be innovate if we maintain the perspective of the outsider… If you are bored, start again.
Outsider creativity isn’t a phase of life. It’s a state of mind… We need to be willing to risk embarrassment, ask silly questions, surround ourselves with people who don’t know what we’re talking about.
We need to leave behind the safety of our expertise.
