//CEO@GRANNY&SMITH, DE-RISKING INNOLAB FOR THE MOST INNOVATIVE COMPANIES

I’m an inventor, innovator and investor. I turn real problems into real companies.My career changed the moment I realized most innovations fail for the same reason: everyone talks about ideas - almost no one builds them.In boardrooms and workshops, I watched brilliant concepts suffocate under politics, process and PowerPoints. The spark in people’s eyes faded the moment reality entered the room. I couldn’t unsee it.So I stopped helping people discuss the future and started building it.Over the past 15 years, I’ve created products, ventures and business models that didn’t exist before. What began as engineering evolved into a practice: recognizing real unmet needs, inventing the solution and forming a company around it.Today, I operate where invention, innovation and investment meet. I don’t manage portfolios — I create the companies they’re built from.How I work: • real-world problems • physical + digital products • validated demand • scalable models • long-term ownershipWhat drives me: If you can see a better future, you’re responsible for building it. I work with people who believe progress comes from creating, not talking — and who want to bring things into the world that should already exist.That’s why I build.More: grannyandsmith.com

HERE IS MY APPROACH TO INNOVATION DEVELOPMENT

The difference between bringing your product to market in theory?

VS

Bringing your product to market in practice?

-------

In "the theoretical" way, you tried to be perfectly prepared and get hit by the market, and it´s over.

In "the practice way", you are learning step by step. (Like small hits that won't knock you out)

In "the practice way", you get feedback from the market and learn to iterate.

-------

After +15 years in the innovation business, I will never go "the theoretical way" anymore. 

It just hurts too much ;-)

You get that one hi,t and it's over.

It´s your choice.

YOU FEEL TIRED?

If you are feeling tired in your life...

...then you should take a good look at this video*!

Don't ever let somebody tell you you can't do something. 

_You got a dream? 
_You gotta protect it. 
_You want something, go get it

THE FOUNDER OF NETFLIX LITERALLY DROPPED HIS BEST BUSINESS ADVICE IN UNDER A MINUTE 🔥

The most valuable business advice I've heard in years 💡

Netflix's founder just dropped this truth bomb that every entrepreneur needs to hear:

"Nobody knows anything when it comes to new ideas. I've started seven companies, including Netflix, and I promise you - I could never have predicted which would succeed and which would fail on day one."

His solution? Stop overthinking and START DOING.
→ Take the risk → Build something
→ Test something → Try something

Because here's the reality: 
You learn more in one hour of action than in three months of planning.

This hits different when you realize Netflix was just one of his seven attempts. 

Imagine if he'd stopped at attempt #6 because he was afraid of failure.

The companies that win aren't the ones with perfect plans - they're the ones brave enough to test their imperfect ideas in the real world.

What's one idea you've been overthinking that you could test this week?

99% of jobs can be taught (if you give people a chance)

Your education doesn't define you.

Hiring managers often require:

↳ Degrees
↳ Fancy credentials
↳ Years of experience

...for jobs that don't need them.

They're missing out on many high performers.

Here's the truth:

A piece of paper doesn’t show what you can do.

Most skills are best learned on the job.
(not in a classroom)

These 5 Things Matter More Than a Degree:

1/ Show Up When Others Don't
↳ Be the one who's always there, no matter what
↳ Even on your worst days, being present puts you ahead

2/ Do the Hard Stuff First
↳ Tackle your toughest task right away
↳ Your brain is freshest in the morning, use it wisely

3/ Learn Something New Every Day
↳ Read, watch, and talk to people smarter than you
↳ Small bits of knowledge become big wisdom over time

4/ Help Others Shine
↳ Always make your teammates look good
↳ When you lift others, you rise further

5/ Own Your Mistakes and Solve Problems
↳ Take responsibility when things go wrong, then fix them
↳ Leaders love problem-solvers, not excuses

Give folks a chance!
You might be surprised by what they can do.

And if you get one of those chances...
Make them wonder why they ever doubted you.

Remember, your credentials don't define your potential.
Your actions do.

If you can't do the little things right

You'll never do the big things right.

The most powerful Navy SEAL leadership lesson:

Admiral McRaven trained 60,000 special operators.

His career secret?
Start by making your bed.

Why? Because high performance starts with daily habits.

After 15+ years as a doctor, this truth still stands.

And I've built my businesses around this very concept.

Changing the world isn't about grand gestures.
It's about these 8 proven success principles:

1. Your daily habits
2. Your perseverance
3. Your attention to detail
4. Your ability to inspire others
5. Your willingness to start small
6. Your commitment to excellence
7. Your resilience in the face of failure 

And most importantly:

8. Your impact on those around you.

Real leadership isn't about being perfect.
It's about being consistent in the small moments.

Need simple steps to start?
Here are 5 proven strategies:

1/ Make Your Bed:
Start your day with one small victory.
It reminds you that you can achieve anything.
One win leads to another.

2/ Embrace Each Challenge:
Every successful journey has obstacles.
But you're stronger than you know:

↳ Face one fear at a time
↳ Support someone along the way
↳ Transform each obstacle into growth

3/ Master the Details:
Excellence grows in small moments.
Your progress matters, however tiny.

4/ Build Resilience:
It's okay to stumble. We all do.
What matters is rising again.

↳ Learn from setbacks.
↳ Adapt your approach.
↳ Keep moving forward

5/ Inspire Others:
Share your strength. Offer hope.
Lift others as you climb.

Remember:
Personal transformation is a daily practice.

It's been proven to me many times over
in medicine and business.

Don't wait for the perfect moment.
Start where you are.
Use what you have.
Do what you can.

Your success begins with each tiny action you take.

The difference between a boss and a leader? 

The words they choose.

After 15+ years leading teams across industries,
I noticed one crucial thing.

Your words WILL make or break your team's culture.

Powerful leaders use these phrases to build trust in their team:

🗣️ Tell me more about that
↳ Show genuine interest and curiosity

🗣️ What can I do to help?
↳ Show you're there to support the team

🗣️ I believe in you
↳ Inspire their confidence and motivate

🗣️ Let's figure this out together
↳ Encourage their solutions and teamwork 

🗣️ I hear what you're saying
↳ Show you are actively listening

🗣️ We need your voice
↳ Encourage their diverse perspectives and ideas

🗣️ What do you think we should do?
↳ Empower team members to contribute

🗣️ I appreciate this
↳ Acknowledge their hard work

🗣️ Your effort made this happen
↳ Recognize your team and give credit

🗣️ I trust your judgment
↳ Empower others to make decisions

🗣️ That was my mistake
↳ Take responsibility and avoid blaming your team

🗣️ What did we learn here?
↳ Focus on their growth without blame

🗣️ Show me how you would do it
↳ Show you respect them enough to listen

🗣️ What are your career goals?
↳ Show you care about their professional growth

🗣️ I am here for you
↳ Show you support and care about their wellbeing

Remember, the best leaders don't just inspire with their voice. 
They lead with their actions.

9 Things You Should NEVER Say in a Job Interview:
(and exactly what to say instead)

I've interviewed many people over the years.

Top performers craft responses that show:

↳ Career potential
↳ Strategic thinking
↳ Emotional intelligence

What you DON'T say matters more than what you say. 🚨

Here's what you should never say in an interview:
(and what to say instead)

❌ My main focus is work-life balance
↳ This sounds like you're looking for a 9-5.
↳ And not willing to go above and beyond.

✅ What are the key performance metrics to focus on?
__

❌ My last manager was really unfair.
↳ This says: I'm difficult to work with.
↳ And I'm not accountable.

✅ I'm looking for an environment that prioritizes respect, growth, and collaborative communication
__

❌ So, what does your company do?”
↳ This shows you haven't researched the company.
↳ And you're not interested in understanding it.

✅ How has your company's strategy evolved over recent years?
__

❌ I'm not sure
↳ This shows you can't think for yourself
↳ And might be avoiding responsibility

✅ Let me check on that and confirm with you.
__

❌ How fast can I get promoted?
↳ This says: I'm more interested in my growth.
↳ And I haven't considered the company timeline.

✅ What does career development look like in this company?
__

❌ I need at least [X] salary.
↳ This says: I'm focused on money.
↳ And I'm not interested in aligning our needs.

✅ I'm looking for fair compensation aligned with my experience. Let's discuss the compensation range once
we determine the mutual fit.
__

❌ I’m just looking to leave my current company.
↳ Shows you don't have a good reason to join.
↳ And you're settling for this as a second choice.

✅ I'm passionate about this opportunity because...
__

❌ I'm open to any role you have.
↳ Says: I'm desperate for a job.
↳ And I don't value my skillset

✅ I know that based on my expertise in [X], 
I can make the most strategic impact in this role.
__

❌ I don't have any questions.
↳ Suggests you're only interested in the paycheck.
↳ And you haven't done your homework.

✅ What’s the team culture and collaborative style?

____

P.S.
Every answer impacts their perception of your value.
Prepare intentionally. Deliver confidently.
That's how you get the offer.
