It's late for me to come and listen in real time (I'm a very early riser and sleeper), but I hope the recording will be posted online. I started reading the book but gave up soon, too much BS.

Max, as you point out early on in this article, new ideas are often rejected early on. From my upcoming article: "And like the smartphone, innovation is often immediately subject to scorn and dismissed, even by those who should know better. The CEO of Microsoft, Steve Ballmer, had this to say about the iPhone when it was first introduced, "...[the iPhone] is the most expensive phone in the world…it doesn't appeal to business customers because it doesn't have a keyboard.” He further went on to say that there was  “no chance” that the iPhone would gain significant market share.

Keep pushing new ideas until people begin to accept them.
