The best ideas come from the intersection of multiple fields. Someone steeped in their own discipline rarely possesses the beginners mindset that is so crucial for innovation. That’s why projects need to involve people who come from different lines of sight. Entrepreneurs, policy makers, engineers, and community leaders all think differently.
