Innovation and Different Lenses

• He challenges everybody to spend an equal hour putting that into play, one of the ways you could do that as you're listening is to ask yourself three dominant questions.
• He suggests asking questions such as "how can I use this" or "why must I use this" to start saying there's the answer there's an answer.
• He believes that asking dominant questions can help us get into head, heart, and hands and have this incredible purpose and drive.

The Importance of Scheduling Execution of Things

• Learning is a form of neuroplasticity that allows us to adapt to new ideas and environments.
• Neuroplasticity allows us to compensate for deficiencies and create workarounds.
• Building paths through repetition and space repetition interval training can lead to the formation of roads and highways.

Learning Through Metaphors

• All learning is taking something you don't know and connecting it to something you do know.
• Metaphors are a natural way of learning because they help us make connections between seemingly unrelated things.
• The CEO uses metaphors to explain complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand.

The Importance of Repetition in Learning

• Repetition is an important part of learning because it helps to reinforce new information.
• The problem with repetition is that it can lead to rote learning, which is not effective for long-term retention.
