But especially if you get around other people, that's going to happen.

As soon as you launch an idea into the world, people are going to tell you all the reasons why it won't work.

And the reality is they might be right, they might be wrong, but you don't know.

And so in the beginning, I just say, give it a second, man.

My friend just had a baby a couple weeks ago.

And I'm not like, you know what, let's get this kid in the gym.

Let's see what's the bench press max, right?

It's like, no, let's let it figure out how to crawl first and then walk and then

run, and then we'll start working on athleticism.

We don't put a kid into the major leagues right away.

We're like, why can't it hit the ball?

Because you got to give it a second, dude.

Let it get its feet underneath it.

And then we'll start trying to make it better.

The same thing is true of ideas.

You got to give them a protective environment and say, hey, before we bring in the devil's advocate, before the guy at every job who thinks it's his job to tell everyone why their idea won't work, before you let that guy hear about the idea,

and maybe protect it.

That's why organizations like Boeing and Apple, they have these like skunkworks divisions that are often in another building somewhere else.

The research and development lab, it is isolated and separated so that those ideas can have a fighting chance.

They can have a chance to be bad.
