Episode 75: Disrupting Yourself and the Truth Of Innovation with Whitney Johnson

In this episode of The Thinking Leader, Bryce Hoffman and Marcus Dimbleby talk with Whitney Johnson, CEO and Co-Founder of Disruption Advisors.

They discuss disruption in business and the value that disruption plays in making changes. Whitney’s core belief is that change comes from the individual, and that disruption on a large-scale starts with disruption on an individual level.

Bryce and Whitney reflect on the moments that caused major changes in their lives which started their own journeys of disruption. They consider the different scales of disruption and how, and why, you should implement disruption in your day-to-day life.

In this episode:

• Why Whitney started her journey of disruption
• What disruption truly means and why you need to start at an individual level
• The difference between large-scale Disruptions and “little d” disruptions
• How you can disrupt yourself and why it is so important to do
• The importance of removing shame from failure and why this will improve your innovation
