Statistically speaking - people who have brilliant innovative ideas that result in successful businesses are exceedingly rare and those ideas often come from experiences outside of the main line of work by combining ideas from disparate disciplines to have a true breakthrough. We as a society really need to disabuse ourselves of the idea that those ideas are likely to cluster on a small set of individuals that continue to crank them out. We've developed such an extreme cult of personality around the rich and it's pretty baffling to see when, if you actually sit down to talk to people - we're all pretty brilliant. Companies that get big and then score repeated out of the park hits do so by attracting and nurturing talent[1] - they don't do so by having one brilliant star that shines eternal. 1. And that is a really good and honestly rare talent in the modern marketplace - it can be hard to let creativity thrive.
