“The electric light did not come from the continuous improvement of candles.”-Oren Harari

The gold spaceship pulled up. The butterfly doors opened like magic.

No steering wheel.

No pedals.

And absolutely nobody driving.

UNREAL.

And yet, there I was. Riding around Austin, Texas in Elon Musk’s latest gold spaceship on wheels: The CYBER CAB.

It was breaking brains, crashing assumptions, and infinitely…WOW

The same magical nonsense happened in Spain at the world’s #1 restaurant, El Bulli.

The don’t give you a menu before dinner.

They give it to you AFTER.

You had no idea what was coming next.

The menu wasn’t a list of choices.

It was a souvenir of everything you just experienced.

BRILLIANT.

Think about that.

A car needs a steering wheel.

A restaurant needs a menu.

SAYS WHO?

Years ago, I read a fascinating book called Disrupt by Luke Williams.

His big idea: The greatest innovations often begin by challenging the assumptions everyone else accepts as fact.

Does a car have to have a steering wheel? No

Does a restaurant have to have a menu? No

Do you have to do things as they have always been? Also No.

What if everything you take for granted…is actually up for grabs .

Dash of Courage

Find one thing you’ve always assumed has to be done a certain way and ask yourself:

What if the opposite were true?

Forget what you know.

Question what you’ve always accepted.

Have the courage to imagine something that doesn’t exist…yet.

After all, the future doesn’t need a steering wheel.

Courage over comfort,

Garrett
