Let's discuss balancing What The Market Wants vs. Disruption in the product development process. Henry Ford is often attributed with the quote “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses” in reference to building the first mass-produced automobile. If Ford had given the market what it wanted, we might not have the transportation and manufacturing technological advances that came from Ford ignoring the demands of the public and building cars for the masses. The original disruptor! But this is most often is NOT the case. Not every idea is viable and not every disruption is embraced. Giving the people what they want is a solid business plan, but innovation comes from breaking rules and forging new paths. How do we find a balanced approach?

This long-form audio-only podcast is posted once a month as an opportunity to dive deep into the issues that challenge all entrepreneurs, business owners, career builders and decision-makers. "How to balance what seems to be contradictory viewpoints” in business and personal life. More than just work/life balance, we examine a variety of “this or that” scenarios.
