The smartest people aren't trying to convince you of that. Instead, they're willing to be dumb...asking questions or trying things that others would dismiss. David Carson a creative CEO and visionary shares his insights on what it really takes to drive innovation and the story behind his Dumbify project and book.
- You have more fun when you can let go of the need to know everything and take time to let other tell you things.
- Being open to exploring the dumb idea leads to innovative thinking
- "Merchandise" your ideas to a friend to get feedback and build on the concept
- Recognize that you get smarter by being dumber: expertise can be ossifying.
- Some strategies to try are making an idea worse, removing restrictions and embracing failure.
- Lean into the pain points to build your creative muscle.
