“You don’t learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over.” – Richard Branson. Clayton Christensen first coined the term “disruptive innovation” 20 years ago in his landmark book, The Innovator’s Dilemma, to explain, very narrowly, the destruction of existing markets by low-end entrants, but it has come to mean any sweeping innovation that disrupts an industry. In this episode, Oceanit’s Patrick Sullivan talks with Catherine Cruz about how disruptive innovation pushes science and invention past the bounds of what’s considered possible – and how it exists on the threshold between failure and discovery.

 

Oceanit practices ‘Intellectual Anarchy’ – empowering teams to break down traditional silos, transcend disciplines, and cross-pollinate ideas and expertise. We create breakthrough ideas, insights, discoveries, and developments — delivering the future as an interdisciplinary force. Through spinouts, co-development partnerships, licensing, and direct manufacturing, Oceanit thrives in delivering solutions to market at scale. Oceanit calls this practice ‘Mind-to-Market’, delivering deep science to disruptive, real-world innovations at scale and impact.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
