[Hands On] "The dumb things geniuses do + The value of a novice perspective" with Perry Klebahn & Jeremy Utley

Perry Klebahn & Jeremy Utley from the Stanford d.school join us on this episode of Hands On to talk shop and unpack big ideas on all things creative.  This fall, they’ll be launching a new book called ‘Ideaflow: The Only Business Metric That Matters,’ which encourages the proactive practice of exercising creative muscles so that the very best ideas can rise to the surface.  In this thought-provoking episode, we go deep into the concept of cross-pollination and cover several other strategies to employ the ‘dumb things’ that geniuses just so happen to do.  Perry and Jeremy aren’t just thought leaders – they’re idea experts.  Tune in and get a head-start untapping the creative juices while we excitedly await the book’s forthcoming release.

Hands On gives listeners an authentic look at how startup leaders drive success, growth and strategy.  The conversations are relaxed and sincere, offering an invaluable glimpse of what's 'under the hood' – and what it takes to excel in spaces that tend to be uncharted.  In each episode, our esteemed guests speak freely about the challenges, breakthroughs and lessons learned that have shaped their growth both personally and professionally.  Like picking something up and examining it from all angles, with Hands On we look closely at what it takes to build companies, careers and relationships.
