1088 ENGINEERING HAPPY ACCIDENTS: THE POWER OF SERENDIPITY

In this episode of "ThinkFuture," I dive into the magic of serendipity—those happy accidents behind breakthroughs like the Popsicle, penicillin, and Ivermectin. I share how the Popsicle came to be when someone left soda and a stick outside to freeze by mistake, sparking a whole new treat. I argue that serendipity isn’t just luck; we can actually engineer it by shaking up our routines. Doing the same thing every day kills creativity, but stepping out—traveling, meeting new people, trying new paths—sets the stage for random connections that lead to big ideas. The pandemic tanked our serendipity by keeping us isolated, but I’m pushing you to break free! Don’t just watch me talk about it—go do something different, and maybe you’ll stumble into your own game-changer. A perfect vibe for YouTube folks craving inspiration and a nudge to mix things up!---brought to you by polyscopemedia: https://polyscopemedia.com
