So gunpowder, boom.
Let's look at cleantech, the printing press, artificial intelligence, the Model T, Henry Ford's breakthrough vehicle, autonomous vehicles.
I wanted to get cryptocurrency distributed ledger technologies in there.
I'm like, which one does this fit best with?
And I said, okay, let's do a little bit of squinting in the book and say, Julia Child, the squinting in the book is this.
When Julia Child was working on her book, she was very concerned that the recipes she was working on, which were carefully crafted, honed through lots of experimentation, were going to leak.
So when she sent them to people, top secret stamps on them and made sure that they were wrapped and all that.
And she used to work at the predecessor to the CIA.
So she understood all this stuff.
in modern days she could use distributed ledger technologies to make sure that there is clear mark of ownership of everything that she distributes and if there is leaking she can figure out exactly where in the chain it happened and how that was the argument that i made since writing the book i've realized i could have said even more julia child one of the things she was great at
pushing frontiers.
She pioneered chefs going on television.
She pioneered modern formats for all the TV shows that we see now.
I am willing to wager that if she were alive today, she would certainly accept payment in crypto and she probably would have a meme coin because she's very memeable.
So I could have done even more in the book with that one, I think.
Well, I'll answer that question first and then go back to a story from the book that helped to really firm this up in my mind.
How should we design teams?
Number one, make sure you have them.
Make sure you recognize that this is not, no matter what you're doing, it's not an individual activity.
There are people who support you and augment you and amplify you, et cetera.
