You know you’re an innovator when:

   - you volunteer to do things that are dangerous and optional.
   - you understand people no one understands.
   - you find yourself doing things no one understands.
   - you have household names on your “things I worked on” history, which hardly anyone had heard of on the date in your timeline.

• Innovation Culture is the new form of security for innovators. 
• It’s necessary to celebrate the value of the innovations that don’t themselves become products
• Focus on user experience – aesthetics, cost, relevance, usability

• connect and integrate:  right technology, right time, right place, with the right partners (i.e. be an internal VC company)
• create natural networks, which will get folks excited to take part
• dial to add to your Innovation Dashboard:  “Paradigm shifts per decade”
