  • Summary

  • In this episode of the Inspiration Nation Podcast, Lee, Jose, and Ryan dive into the power of curiosity and innovation. Inspired by a keynote from Diane Kander, author of The Curiosity Muscle, Lee shares a pivotal moment of self-reflection about his own path and the importance of curiosity in driving success. He realizes that his core trait, curiosity, is essential to unlocking new ideas and solving problems. A standout quote from the episode is: "The number one thing that kills innovation is success." This highlights how complacency often prevents individuals and organizations from striving for improvement.

    Lee also shares insights from Kander's talk on Amazon’s fearless approach to innovation, noting how the company continually kills off less successful ventures to focus on high-reward projects, like the creation of Alexa. The episode encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives, identifying "zombies"—tasks or habits that don't serve them—and reallocate their energy toward projects that truly matter.
