Would you Agree?
“Idea by itself means nothing”
Marc Andreesen on Brian Koppelman’s podcast
Often, we think, just because
we have made or created or
thought something,
it is the best
Creation is an act of collaboration between the creator and the audience.
An art comes alive in the minds and hearts of the audience.
Marc says
“It is the responsibility of the artist
to be willing to engage with that and be practical about that and
willing to think hard about that and
willing to do things required
to get the work in front of people”
Why is that?
Because No one in this world
gets up thinking and
wanting your product
or service or
your art
Everyone is obsessed with actions
which will bring them closer
to their needs and wants.
Everyone is busy with their lives
Marc says we have to inject ourselves into the audience’s world
See my video what collaboration means and why “better mousetrap” is an idea which has run it course
While Marc is talking about
Artists and Startup founders,
I believe it is valid for all of us.
If we deploy curiosity
to understand what is happening
in others lives and
be empathetic to
their needs and wants,
we will have a significant edge
in this I-me-mine world
