Great quote, @Chris Nierhaus. If you're not daring to be different, or if you're using the same methods as others who have tried and failed, you're never going to get where you want to be.

By the way, I've posted an answer for you re: request for links to StartupNation's content on the topic of disruption; saw that you've already shared one above, so thanks again.
I think the topic of creativity and disruption are indeed challenging. Figuring out a way to stand out in a crowded industry, but also protecting your ideas, is often easier said than done.
That's why I think Erik's philosophies on this topic are worth listening to. You may have an idea, but how do you make that idea successful? Trust the process, defamiliarize the ordinary and take risks, per Erik.
