To Fly
The setting couldn’t be better: 5am in an apartment in Brooklyn, and wind-up fish toy hanging from Jay’s lapel, because why not?
Late night discussions tend to turn to philosophy, at least for me. Maybe that says something insightful and not altogether flattering about me, or maybe it doesn’t say anything at all. That night, I decided I could fly.
Not that I could fly in a literal sense of learning to pilot aircraft, or of growing wings and flapping them to create lift. Rather that I could overcome any obstacle, and that the impossible is the only thing worth trying.
Entrenched industries with deep pockets can be scary. Who could take down Exxon or Coke? Those are big challenges worth pursuing.
That’s why today I decided to start a new group, which I’ve temporarily named Team Disruption. The “Team” part is a little bold, since right now it’s a team of one, but I plan to change that soon. The goal of Team Disruption is to take on the most powerful, entrenched, and “unbeatable” industries in America, revolutionize their businesses, and take down Goliath.
Follow Team Disruption on twitter. Meetup group in the DC area coming soon. Facebook group coming soon.
Rational people and realists not allowed. Dreamers and Doers only.
Happy disrupting.
