I'm reading The Code Breaker, by Walter Isaacson, about the scientific work to learn to edit DNA, and this sentence jumped out at me: "Darwin and Wallace had a key trait that is a catalyst for creativity: They had wide-ranging interests and were able to make connections between different disciplines." Yes! Good ideas are born in the intersection of seemingly unrelated inputs. This is why we need to take our vacations, leave our desks, put down our phones, RSVP yes to the random invitation. Innovation is a stream that must be fed from diverse springs, then the creative brain does the rest. What will you make next?
 
Happy creating!
