Episode notes

Humans have a propensity to think in absolutes. For instance, fire the team member or keep them? Get divorced or have a baby? Consider this, the profound and innovative technologies tend not to be either or, but rather AND based instead.

Who can we look too? Who can teach us an AND way of thinking, particularly when confronting the really big questions, the really big problems we face?

You may love or hate people like Elon Musk, Richard Branson, or Jeff Bezos, but as a leader, you likely do want to know what drives them to extraordinary heights? One thing is certain, these individuals tend to be solution-based not in an either-or but very much in an AND way. So, let me ask you, do you know what or who got someone like Jeff Bezos to even think about big problems, particularly in an AND way? The answer may surprise you. It is a man who very few people today would even recognize the name of, a man who our guest today has made a fascinating movie about. The gentleman I’m referring to has inspired everyone from Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk to Star Trek creator, Gene Rodenberry. A man who, when you watch this movie, ‘The High Frontier,’ may change your entire understanding of the possibilities and value of the new space race.
