Have you ever wondered what kind of communication is necessary in order to be able to break through to the next level to have real innovation? What does it take? Well, today's guest is the absolutely perfect person to answer that question. I'm not sure there's anyone who could answer it better who's alive today. This is Ed Catmull. He's the co-founder of Pixar that went on to lead both Pixar and Disney's animation studios in what we could described as the second golden era of animation. You know the names of these movies, Toy Story, A Bug's Life, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Cars, Ratatouille, and on and on and on. He not only helped to create new industry, he also created a new standard within animation the world over. By the end of this episode, you will have insights into how to actually have conversations that produce not just efficiency or productivity, but innovation, invention, breakthrough, and creativity.
