Episode 88: Chris Barton
Are they born geniuses?
Or did they get it from some other planet’s reality?
Or are they just curious, quirky and unique but persistent enough to follow their ideas?
How is innovative thinking connected and can be nourished by the same habits you need practice for optimum health?

And in the latest episode of the Thrive State Podcast, Chris shares his Five Unexpected Methods of Disruptive Thinking to help people supercharge innovations.
Chris is a three-time startup founder, pioneer of mobile ecosystems at Google and Dropbox, advisor to startup companies, inventor of 12 patents including one found within the Google search algorithm, and a former strategy consultant serving many industries.

Aspects of Innovations
Everyone is creative internally. But innovation has two aspects: creativity in coming up with the idea and following through. The latter is 90% of the equation.
There are ways to train and come up with game-changing ideas.

Rituals for Creativity
For Chris, exercise helps. The combination of exercise and the meditative state that he enters when running helps in creative thinking.
Pro tip: Have your phone handy to write the ideas down when it comes up.

Five Unexpected Methods of Disruptive Thinking
The ingredients of game-changing innovations starts with grounding to your basic truths.
- Creative persistence – Seeing it through; not only persistence but finding creative solutions
- Eliminating friction – strive for simplicity; “all you have to do is” is a sign of too much friction
- Picking your obsession – innovation lock in on where you believe; stick to it even in the face of resistance
- Connect to emotions – pull from the heart
- Non-consensus insight – hold your convictions; but as a leader you have to communicate that

How is Innovation connected with Emotion
Your team builds connection emotionally when they contribute ideas and understand how it can be an act of service–by impacting people.
