Fueling You to Find: Your Next Big Idea
About the Author :
As a writer, you can find my work in The New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal.So, what makes me someone to learn about the creation of ideas from? Throughout my career, I have seen how the idea process works in all different sized companies. I have started multiple startups both as part of a team and by myself. One of the companies I was a co-founder of was Wundershirt, which at its peak sold athletic training clothing to Olympic athletes prepping for the 2016 Olympics. I also have worked for a company that was part of the INC 5000 fastest growing companies. Here I was selected to be a part of the R&D team to help work towards developing new products. Working at a fast-growing company you can see how the ideas come to be and problems are handled by members of a successful small business team. Finally, I have worked on business development for a company part of Fortune's Future 50 list and Fortune's Fortune 500 list.In my career, I have been watching and creating ideas for all levels of business from the startup phase, to the high-growth phase, and even for large companies. This has allowed me to have a unique perspective on the idea process and allowed me to look at the whole idea of creativity, problem-solving, ideation, and innovativeness from an angle that most people have not seen.While most of the time I am at work when I am not working though you probably can find me at an amusement park, playing board games, or drinking coffee from a local coffee shop.
