Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Launch 1 Product Every Week: The "Idea Machine" Method | Alex Mehr

If we care about the next generation, it is our duty to stand our ground, even though it is counterintuitive and a pragmatic person who wants to make a living and build a business or what have you,

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

The pragmatic answer is take your ball and go play somewhere else, which is why I left San Francisco.

Yeah.

But if all of us do that all the time for long enough, there will be no other place for us to take our ball to go and play it.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

That's essentially what happened throughout all these crazy revolutions that has happened over the years.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

Yeah, so again, I'm gonna go back to history and I'm gonna work my way to today.

They just put a huge body of work out.

So the overall message that I want to tell people is that successful people are idea machines.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley

Successful people are idea machines.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Launch 1 Product Every Week: The "Idea Machine" Method | Alex Mehr

They just constantly put out a huge amount of work.

Now, there's a catch with that.

Finding Peak w/ Ryan Hanley
Launch 1 Product Every Week: The "Idea Machine" Method | Alex Mehr

The catch is you can't have a lot of ideas, but don't have execution abilities, so you can't execute on any of your ideas.

which meant the world of super successful entrepreneurs was limited with people that not only were idea machines, but they were also really good execution machines.

So that means more people can turn their ideas into businesses and products with AI, which means that history has disproportionately rewarded high idea machines, essentially.
