Today’s coffee companion works for Spotify.
We talked about:
- intentional serendipity
- the beautiful city of Stockholm
- how one’s identity is shaped around the space in which one lives
- accidentally ending up in Newark
- the processes for innovation that happened at Bell Labs
- how “Innovation” is an over-used term
- measuring the right things (and not measuring everything)
- giving purpose to people coming together (or bribing them with ice cream)
- how emigree can end up holding onto cultural symbols more than those they leave behind
- knowing when you are in the wrong place
- trust by default
- patterns shifting towards remote
- how remote doesn’t need to mean lonely
