Hi Steven,
I appreciate your sharing your honest assessment of your Education and Innovation journey here. I will hazard a guess that most of us feel (or have felt) similarly, as is characteristic of the disruptive nature of the innovation process. I also remember that talk from Guy Kawasaki and what a sense of relieve it inspired in me. That, and studying the whole premise behind the design thinking process, which is to iterate often (and even invite failure along the way) with the understanding that those bumps and starts are a necessary part of our never-ending quest for the next innovative solution. Luckily, we are not alone as we struggle to wrap our heads around these new understandings together.
