Steve Jobs – Creativity & Innovation
Innovation isn't just about wild ideas—it's about bridging the gap between imagination and reality. Steve Jobs understood that true creativity emerges when you combine visionary thinking with relentless execution. This week, you'll learn to see ordinary objects and processes through the lens of possibility, asking not just "what if?" but "how can I make this better?"
The art of refinement is where genius lives. Jobs famously spent months perfecting the curve of an iPhone's corner, understanding that elegance lies in the details others overlook. You'll practice taking complex problems and distilling them to their essence, removing everything unnecessary until only the beautiful and functional remains.
