Innovation isn’t only for unicorns, it’s for the rest of us donkeys too

How can I, a mere mortal, innovate when I couldn’t code my way out of a paper bag, let alone land rockets in the Pacific?

I don’t need to tell you that innovation is so hot right now. You know as well as I do, if we could all be a little more innovative, we’d be killing it like the BezosesZuckerbergs and Pages of this world.
