But, you know, I also have ideas when I'm exercising.
So that's what I mean.
It's just it's a nonstop kind of thing, you know.
i really love that you said that and the thing that really inspired me the most i you know i when i was at stanford i was in the product design program and what i love the most about the product design program is that their fundamental thesis is that everyone is creative but it is suppressed by fear and by the events you go through you know as you get older you know you look at young people all the time they're constantly creative and building things and drawing whatever and then as we get older right we suppress that and we don't share our new new crazy ideas and we don't you know make that time you know or space to be creative
And what the product design program did was to say, every single person is creative.
And in fact, rather than waiting for lightning to strike or the apple to fall out of the tree and bop you on the head, what we think is most important is that you have a repeatable process to be creative.
And so the product design program teaches this repeatable process where
You start with need finding by talking to people and understanding things that they don't like or things they wish they could improve or that kind of thing.
You then iterate on a bunch of different ideas and solutions to those problems.
You take them back to those people and say, what do you think?
You iterate some more and get more feedback.
You test, you prototype, and then ultimately you end up at the end of that process with a really cool new product or idea.
And I think by taking that sort of
Stanford Business School seems so awesome.
I got a chance to like audit a business school class as a
what, sophomore in college.
And I was just like, wow, this seems like, I mean, college, but like way better and more fun.
That's great.
It's pretty magical.
Yeah, it's really cool.
