The quality of our innovation is limited by the quality of the questions we are willing to ask.

But before any of those milestones happen, someone has to be curious enough to ask a better question. After years of working with founders, researchers, investors, corporate leaders, and community builders, I have come to believe that curiosity is not just a personality trait. It [...]
