We’re entering a period of profound change, but many of our mental habits were formed for a more stable world. I write about mindset and innovation as the hidden patterns that shape how we learn, adapt, create value—and prevail—in the face of uncertainty.

We’re living in a period of profound, accelerating change.
Technology, work, institutions, expectations—none of it is standing still.
The hardest part is not just predicting what's coming.
It’s learning how to adapt when certainty keeps slipping away.

I think it’s about mindset.

Mindset may be the most powerful influence on human behavior—and it’s mostly invisible to us. 🧵

We often talk about innovation as a skill or a capability. That misses something more fundamental.

If innovation has been so effective for so long, why do so many of us resist it—especially when we need it most?

We often treat innovation like emergency equipment—something to pull out when needed.
But the people who navigate change best keep their innovativeness always on.

What if innovation weren’t about inspiration or brilliance—but about following a simple pattern that helps you learn from the world as it changes?

If you like reliable strategies, here’s one that’s been working for a very long time.
Not decades.
Not centuries.
Billions of years.
It’s the most proven innovation method we have—and it’s often misunderstood.

Sometimes the hardest part of change isn’t knowing what you want—it’s crossing the space between what’s possible now and what could be possible if you act. I call that gap the possibility space.
