92. Innovation

"Innovation is taking two things that exist and putting them together in a new way." -Tom Freston, Co-founder of MTV   Innovation (definition, Google): is the creation, development and implementation of a new product, process or service, with the aim of improving efficiency, effectiveness or competitive advantage.   The facts: if you are not actively working to grown, learn, and innovated, you will become antiquated (aka extinct).   2020 provided a shake up for everyone and there were some very serious losses AND some very serious gains. While we all hope to get back to "normal" soon, every one of us will likely carry over something into our soon to be fully free world that we learned to do better (or innovate) during lock down. When push comes to shove, we somehow figure it out. I am excited to welcome Mike Ham, Founder of The Morning Spotlight Podcast as well as the coolest guy in title insurance, to the Turmeric & Tequila mic! You might think- how do podcasting and title insurance go together, let alone benefit one another? We unpack the unlikely paring and how Mike leaned into his own innovative ideas to merge his worlds and now reap the benefits. This is an awesome cast for anyone living a Turmeric & Tequila life and wondering how to make it all fit together… IT IS POSSIBLE. Sometimes we just need a little motivation to broaden the perspective and shift the way we think. If it's authentic there is a way to make it work and the world around you will be oh-so appreciative that you did! Cheers… add the turmeric to your tequila right now:)   Highlights: Questioning a better way. Innovation. Innovative ideas for all. Changing your perspective for the better. Trail blazing. Trial and error. Turmeric and Tequila. Breakdown and breakthrough. Finding your voice and embracing it. Reality is nothing more than applied meaning, create that meaning and make it a reality.   Mike Ham: @TheMorningSpotlight Host/Producer: "The Morning Spotlight with Mike Ham" "The Coolest Guy in Title Insurance," Mike Ham is a Sales Executive with Fidelity National Title Group, the nation's largest group of title companies and title insurance underwriters.
