Episode notes

Breakthrough innovations often arise from naivety and the willingness to challenge established norms. Expertise typically comes from years of experience, including witnessing failures and learning what not to do. However, fresh perspectives from those who are uninformed about industry limitations can lead to groundbreaking ideas. These innovators, coupled with engineering talent, can tackle challenges that experienced individuals might dismiss due to preconceived notions about feasibility. The combination of naive belief and technical problem-solving can foster significant advancements, as demonstrated by figures like Elon Musk and John Mackey, who succeeded despite lacking industry backgrounds.

In this episode, Keller and Peter discuss the future of drone delivery, how to use geographic arbitrage as an entrepreneur, and the story behind Zipline.
