“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.

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.
