Ideas don't fail because they're bad — they fail because they never get the protection, the timing, or the crew they need to survive. In Part 2 with Kyle Scheele, Dwayne and Kyle walk through the five things every idea needs to make it into the world, from giving it a chance to bodyguarding it from the wrong people at the wrong time.
You'll learn why the answer to your company's biggest challenge is probably already inside one of your employees — and why no one's ever asked. Kyle breaks down exactly where AI can help in the creative process and where it can't, why he went from 17 TikTok followers to a million in 25 hours with a video about his dad's tilted head, and why creativity is a team sport that the myth of the self-made entrepreneur has been hiding from us for decades.
