Ep37: The Opportunity Hiding In Plain Sight

What if the biggest opportunities are the ones insiders have stopped noticing? When an industry starts repeating itself, it’s easy to assume everything worth doing has already been done. But sometimes the real problem isn’t a lack of ideas. It’s a lack of fresh perspective. In this episode, Richard and Lee reflect on a major trade show in Las Vegas and what it revealed about innovation, habit, and the blind spots that form when people stay too close to the same way of thinking. They look at how curiosity, observation, and an outsider’s perspective can expose gaps that experience alone might miss. If you’ve been feeling like your work, industry, or business has hit a wall, this conversation offers a grounded reminder that new opportunities don’t always come from forcing a breakthrough. Sometimes they come from stepping back, listening properly, and seeing what everyone else has learned to ignore. If you enjoy it, they'd love to hear from you!
