Brands: Learning to Learn From Disruption
Storytelling is used as a bridge for knowledge and
understanding allowing the values of "self" and
"community" to connect and be learned as a whole.
Storytelling allows for community values to be learned
at different times and places for different learners.
Stories are told from the perspective of other people,
animals, or the natural elements of the earth. In this
way, people learn to value their place in the world in
relation to others.

If you don’t want to be caught by surprise, you have to recognize that the
future will be different from the past. The future is unfathomable, ambiguous,
and open to every option. One major move by a competitor, or one new
technology, is sometimes all it takes to end an empire. If your current business
is like a carefully tended garden, with neat beds and high walls, that’s not
enough. The next opportunity (or threat) may lie outside those walls, at the
messy intersection of sectors and markets.

Editor's Notes

  • #20: "The pizza is actually better now, and the marketing campaigns are cheesy good instead of just cheesy,“ They did two things: Reinvented products. Better marketing. T-Mobile did the same. Reinvented the contract model. Better marketing. A CEO that acts as their spokesperson (disrupts the old PR model)
