Episode 76 - Hile Rutledge and Hoosiers show art Episode 76 - Hile Rutledge and Hoosiers

Looking For AND

In 1986, the film Hoosiers was released and told the story of a small high school in Indiana where the boys basketball team defies the odds with a new coach to make a run at the state title. It's the classic David & Goliath story and it's loosely based on a real high school in the mid-1950s. Hile and I use the movie to talk about how the coach led this small team (it only had 7 players) against state powerhouses, a town that wanted the coach to be fired and a star player who wasn't on the team. We talk about admitting mistakes, resilience, compassion and listening to the team.

Have you ever wondered creativity really comes from? Frans Johansson, author of The Medici Effect - What Elephants and Epidemics Can Teach Us About Innovation and CEO of The Medici Group asked the same question and his hunch was right! Creativity most often occurs at the "intersection." This could be two scientific fields, two business disciplines or simply two, diverse people. In this episode, Frans helps us understand why diversity is not just a buzzword, what role humility plays in innovation and what criteria we should use to judge new ideas.
