“Behind great success lies a common denominator: stupid.
After conducting hundreds of personal interviews, drawing from academic cases, and building on extensive study of famous and everyday people alike, a surprising trend emerged. Successful people, throughout history and today, don’t avoid stupid, they lean into it . . . in a smart way.”
~ Richie Norton from The Power of Starting Something Stupid
