Beauty in the Broken [Creativity Series #10]

Betting your career on your creativity means you'll have your fair share of saving bad ideas (or "polishing turds" as you'll hear in one of our stories). It also requires the ability to look past the obvious and see the potential for something better or higher quality or generally more creative. It requires you to see beauty in the broken. Today, we look at these ideas from multiple angles.   First, I wrestle with some leftovers (BONUS: you get a recipe out of this episode!). Then, we go outside the echo chamber to hear the curious case of the Warriors -- starting in a very bad place. Then we hear the story of entrepreneur John Marsh, whose career journey looks a lot more like a detour.   LINKS TO KNOW: John Marsh: www.linkedin.com/in/john-marsh-1576069 John Marsh's real estate business: http://www.liveopelika.com/ New York Times piece on the Warriors: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/03/magazine/what-happened-when-venture-capitalists-took-over-the-golden-state-warriors.html?_r=0   SUBSCRIBE TO UNTHINKABLE Get a simple note written by Jay every Monday morning along with the new episode -- subscribe at http://unthinkable.fm Jay's Twitter: http://twitter.com/jayacunzo Behind-the-Scenes making Unthinkable: http://snapchat.com/add/jayacunzo   SUPPORT FOR THIS EPISODE: http://RightSideShirts.org - Empowering kids to be more creative and helping art programs in need.
