My Take: The world is becoming smaller - people no longer want to stay in one lane. They want to branch out to other businesses, other areas of interest - and explore those worlds as well. It's a great time for cross-pollination - don't be afraid to try new things in areas that you may not be proficient in, but that may interest you.
