In this episode, I break down a powerful lesson from the Steve Jobs Archive about innovation, leadership, and why most people stall out in life: they stop taking risks. Jobs reminds us that you never truly “figure it out.” You’re always figuring it out — and the minute you stop innovating, you start eroding.
Whether you’ve experienced a major failure or you feel like you’re finally in the lead, the danger is the same: slipping into protection mode. Playing it safe. Cost-cutting your way through problems instead of innovating your way to better circumstances.
This episode explores:
- Why iteration through failure is the real path to growth
- How Apple lost a 10-year lead by stopping innovation
- Why “safe” decisions often become the riskiest
- The mindset shift required to stay competitive in life and business
- How to avoid stagnation and keep pushing your skills, ideas, and opportunities forward
If you’re a leader, creator, entrepreneur, or anyone trying to grow from where you are to where you want to be, this episode will help you stay hungry, stay curious, and keep innovating.
Keep it simple. Keep it moving. Never settle. Stay tough.
