One of the things that was a very surprising finding to me from the book is, look, I love disruption.

I've studied it for 25 years.

I've researched it.

I've written about it.

I've practiced it.

I teach it.

I truly believe the world is a better place because of it.

However, as I went into each of the stories, for as good as disruption is, it also casts a shadow.

That shadow can be a company that was a great company that fails.

And a lot is lost when companies fail.

It can be a market that goes through a lot of tumultuous changes that has pain as that happens.

And the one I want to focus on is it casts a shadow on individuals.

I think perhaps my favorite find for the book was the 1548 proclamation from King Edward VI, or his team because he was 10 at the time, proclamation against those that do innovate.

You see the title and you're like, well, that's silly.

Why would the king care about people innovating?

But then you pause for a second.

What do innovators do?

At their core, they question the status quo.

They say, why are we doing it this way?

How might we do it differently?
