Episode notes

In the early stages of the course, we are really focused on product market fit. We're really focused on creating capabilities around experimentation and deploying scrappy, quick experiments to learn. And with rare exception, it's pretty low at this point, because you know, they're still trying to build something. David: "You'd be astounded. It's already crazy amazing"

In this episode we sit down with Jeremy Utley of the Stanford d.school to discuss his new book, Ideaflow, which is all about how to create a practice for producing and trading ideas in massive quantities – whether in an organization or as an individual entrepreneur or content-creator – along with a system for sorting the garbage from the gold. We discuss, among many other things, why it is important to focus on input more than output, how to stop obsessing over quality while generating quantity, and peanut butter pumps.
