Description

In this episode, I share three useful tricks every innovator should steal from magicians. Then I share one of my favorite lenses - #24: VARIATIONS.

The three tricks to steal are:

1. Don't trust the brain
2. Start with the impossible solution.
3. Performance is as important as the method.

I also share why simplification is often the best form of innovation. The most complicated solutions is not always the best solution.

Then I talk about lens #24: VARIATIONS.

The premise of this lens is that you should not design your solutions with a one-size-fit-all strategy. Or in other words, design to handle the exception, not for the exception.
