Many people think of innovation as taking large, high-risk leaps with no certainty of the outcome. 

But what if our big, breakthrough moments were the result of cultivating daily micro-innovations? 

Accomplished jazz guitarist and managing partner of Mudita Venture Partners, Josh Linkner believes it’s possible. 

Josh Linkner is a creative troublemaker. He passionately believes that all human beings have incredible creative capacity, and he’s on a mission to unlock inventive thinking and problem solving to help leaders, individuals and communities soar.

Josh has been the founder and CEO of five tech companies, which sold for a combined value of over $200 million and is the author of four books including the New York Times Best Sellers, Disciplined Dreaming and The Road to Reinvention. He has invested in and/or mentored over 100 startups and is the founding partner of Detroit Venture Partners.

In this episode, Josh shares the fascinating connection between jazz and entrepreneurship and how implementing his simple frameworks can help businesses win at the highest levels. 

Key Points:
  • Jazz as the perfect metaphor for business
