There was learning about computers and how to make them do what you wanted. Then, he saw the movie Top Gun. One reviewer said that the star of the movie wasn’t any of the actors. It was the airplanes.

How true disruptors use innovation, including digital, to grow the market and create new business models. F OR YEARS I was taught that growing the business in an industry with strong competition was mostly a zero-sum game. You took away share from competition or they took it from you. Or else, you took on the hard work of growing the entire market. I’ve learned this is not always true.

When it’s change you’ve asked for, being excited and bought in makes any hiccups or headaches worth it.
