We love the myths: Silicon Valley geniuses, billion-dollar unicorns, “lightbulb moments.” But the truth is far messier. Real innovation is born of necessity — in the relentless grind of failure.In this episode of Builders of the Broken Bazaar, Dr. Tabish Zaman speaks with Professor John Bessant — one of the world’s leading voices on innovation and inclusive entrepreneurship. From Edison’s 10,000 failed filaments to Dyson’s 5,000 prototypes, from $30 eye surgeries that restored sight to millions to Syrian rescue tools made from pool mattresses, John reveals why resilience, not disruption, is the real currency of innovation.🎙 “Innovation isn’t about Silicon Valley hype — it’s about resilience.”👉 Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@buildersofthebrokenbazaar
