What if the key to brilliance is starting with garbage? Tucker Bryant has a rule: Write the worst poem you can. Not a mediocre one. An absolute disaster. Why? Because when the pressure to be good disappears, creativity runs wild. You experiment. You take risks. You learn what doesn’t work. So you can figure out what does. The same applies to innovation, leadership, and any big idea. → The missteps. → The discarded drafts. → The wild experiments. That’s where the magic happens. Always run with it.

Doing the right thing isn’t about forever. It’s about today. Not every day for the rest of your life. Not an impossible standard of perfection. Just today. When someone pushed back on the idea of showing up, being kind, and doing the right thing every single day, Shola Richards had the perfect response: You don’t have to do it every day. But you do have to do it today. And when tomorrow becomes today? You do it again. Because that’s how cultures shift, how teams thrive, and how real leadership happens. One intentional day at a time.

What killed Henry Ford’s momentum? Not competition. Not lack of resources. Not even a bad product. It was the one thing that fuels every great innovator: Curiosity. Tucker Bryant breaks down how Ford’s obsession with efficiency stifled experimentation, leaving him miles behind the competition. Because when we cling too tightly to what we know works, we close the door on what could work even better. So ask yourself... Are you prioritizing execution over exploration? Are you so focused on moving forward that you’ve stopped looking around? Curiosity isn’t a luxury. It’s a strategy. And the most successful people never leave it behind.
