KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We often assume that success comes from iterating on the triumphs of others. But often, we can achieve staggering success through looking for the new ways to break ground.
• One of the more interesting effects of the pandemic has been the sudden uptick in playtime. With less travel happening, people are focussing on how to enrich their lives in playful ways closer to home.
• We often have our dreams derailed by those who cannot see the potential in them. Building a business based on what you love allows you to assert positivity into not just your ambitions, but the lives of others.
• The truth of the matter is that success doesn't become easier the more you have. The higher you reach, the more difficult the issues that you face. This is why being passionate about your idea or central conceit can push you to overcome even the toughest challenges.
