The Humpback Whale – seen above – will take in as much as 20,000 liters to get her dinner, which is comprised of tons of very little creatures.

Innovating is not unlike this magnificent whale’s eating habits. You have to take in a ton of data, learn a great deal about your products and customers, and then sift through it all to find the gems.

It is a lot of work, and can be disheartening when you aren’t sure if you’re going to find the right path forward. Try to think about the adventure more than the solution. If you can find joy in the meal, you’re going to grow so much faster.
