Rethinking Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and the Work in Between
Glenn Reid has spent decades building products and companies — including years at Apple working on core technology that most people have never heard of but millions use every day. He has thought harder than most about what innovation actually is, and what it isn't.
In this episode, Glenn draws a clear distinction between innovation (the pursuit of new ideas) and entrepreneurship (the discipline of building something real around them). He argues that frustration is underrated as a driver of meaningful change, that large organizations develop an immune system against their own best ideas, and that execution matters far more than ideation.
