Howie, I really enjoyed this piece. You emphasize the role of je ne sais quoi for innovation, in what my collaborator Laura Kornish and others refer to as the fuzzy front end. I deeply appreciate your recognition of the role of cognitive flexibility—a topic on which I am currently doing research—and I love how you used “beautiful mind” as a verb! Putting mysticism to work is as important for business as it is for understanding economics (which of course I do in my own Substack). Cheers.

As a coach, it's my job to turn every adjective/noun combo into a verb :)

I'd love to learn more about cognitive flexibility and mysticism — maybe it's time for another podcast chat.
