#QOTD - What are the first three sites you look at in the morning?
#Timestamps:
0:00 Intro
00:33 - What do you look for when hiring creatives?
01:43 - You’re like a billionaire right? What do you splurge on?
02:45 - Pre-Season hockey is on, if you owned a hockey team what would you do with snapchat?
04:25- How do you generate novel ideas in an overpopulated seemingly stale industry? (the fitness industry in my case)
05:53 - With the NFL in London this week, what do you think about sports franchises moving to different cities or countries?
I always find that the best way to attack your own industry and innovate is to spend *zero* time in it. I spent an extreme lack of time in the wine industry, and I spend almost no time dealing with the "agency world" right now. I think I've been to like six other agencies because we had meetings there, but that is literally it. I don't read AdAge, I don't ask my senior people what they did at other agencies.
For me, my lack of industry knowledge, and my lack of education have actually allowed me to innovate even more. I go with what I think works, not with what everybody else in the industry is doing.
So pay attention to the food industry, or the rock-climbing business. The best way to not innovate is to pay attention to everybody else in the business, because they're just doing the same crap, too.

    12/15/2017 — One of my personal favorite things is having bad days. I think people overreact to people being in a bad mood. Loved seeing you stick to your guns and being genuine. Question for you, I'm starting a clothing company because I love to design, but I honestly just want something I can do from home and make a good living because I want to be a full-time dad for my kids, (this would also help my wife to pursue her dreams of becoming a CEO of a hospital). What advice do you have for me? Should I try to keep it small? Or just bring in enough other people to run the company and stay as the main designer? Any thoughts would help. Thanks!
