Sparkchasers Podcast: Innovation Looks a Lot Like Hard Work
1 Min Read • Podcasts
I can’t believe we’re at the end of season 2 of the SparkChasers Podcast! It’s been a wonderful opportunity to break apart the topic of innovation and dig into the process a little deeper with you over the past 10 weeks. In this final episode, Greg and I reflect on the big “ah-has” from this season and the takeaways that our listeners have shared with us.
Number one on the list: like most things that are worthwhile, this process isn’t easy. We all have this perception that innovation and creativity are somehow magically bestowed upon people. Like there’s a fairy godmother who sprinkles “innovation dust” on the chosen few. In reality, innovation (like all art) is a process, and the more you put into it, the more you get out. It requires a lot of hard work, perseverance and a willingness to fail in order to succeed.
In this final episode, we go into this idea one last time and even share what’s coming up in Season 3. So grab a seat and let’s get started!
