When it comes to innovation, everybody's looking for the game-changer. But Lon Safko shares the reality that humans need baby steps before they can leap forward. In this episode of the podcast, Lon and I talk about how the stories that connect us are the breadcrumbs that allow humans to understand what's coming - without fear.  Lon shares the inspiration behind his bestselling books, and how having the ability to look into the future is both a gift and a curse. He also spills the details of his formula for helping people to become more creative and innovative.  Finally, Lon shares an amusing anecdote of what happened when he received an unexpected phone call from John Sculley, the former CEO of Apple, and how it led to him partnering with the tech giant.
