VISUAL OF THE WEEK

THE BIG IDEA

Your uniqueness is the secret sauce of innovation. (Share on X)

Consider Steve Jobs—he didn’t just follow a proven formula.

After getting pushed out of Apple, he took a bold leap into uncharted territory, mixing new design ideas with emerging technology. His bold choices led to the creation of the iPhone, and as we all know it, it became a revolutionary device that transformed the way we communicate and the path technology took.

It’s tempting to stick with what’s proven and safe; following the crowd feels easier. It’s familiar and seems less risky. But the real breakthroughs occur when you challenge the status quo.

Sure, there might be a few bumps along the way and a couple missteps —think of companies that built things like the Humane AI Pin or the Rabbit R1 that didn’t quite hit the mark.

Even then, when these attempts don’t hit the mark, they pave the way for future innovation by pushing us to rethink what's possible.

Success is knowing what to do with what you have learned. (Share on X)

This is the essence of being an outlier: you see potential in every setback, and you understand that risk is a vital ingredient in the recipe for success.
