Episode 121 - Curiosity Beats Strategy - How attention to anomalies created the microwave oven
Not all breakthroughs begin with a whiteboard. Sometimes, they begin with something that feels like a mistake.
An inconvenience. A “Huh, that’s odd…” But here’s the catch—most of us are too busy to notice.
True innovation doesn’t always knock. It whispers. And only the curious hear it.
This week I share a story about how staying curious in the face of something unexpected led to an invention that reshaped the way the world eats.
The lesson?
Don’t ignore the anomaly. It might be your next breakthrough.
