I think it's for the purposes of rhetoric, with emphasis cast on "the next new thing" by its repetition, and some vague attempt at an ascending tricolon (maybe)

I think it's for the purposes of rhetoric, with emphasis cast on "the next new thing" by its repetition, and some vague attempt at an ascending tricolon (maybe) with discover/invest/build. It reads quite clunkily but it would probably sound a bit better spoken at a lectern. (Actually, if you drop "get my hands dirty and" it just flows much better generally - I think that's the biggest problem with this sentence.)
