Episode 38: The Pace of Innovation

Peter and Dan explore the history of innovation over centuries and the “adjacent possible,” a concept developed by Steven Johnson in his book “How We Got to Now.”

In this episode:

• Dan outlines how many entrepreneurs get caught up in future possibilities that aren’t immediately actionable, and analyzes the impact of this negative thinking pattern.
  

• Peter discusses why the pace of innovation is picking up and how exponential tools like artificial intelligence, nanotech and brain-computer interfaces are quickly becoming resources available to the masses.
  

• Dan talks about using a tool he developed at Strategic Coach for getting people in touch with what is truly possible and in their control.
