Why We Leave Our Best Ideas Undiscovered

By Sam Brinson
medium.com — It’s always nice to have a good idea, but good ideas aren’t always easy to find. They’re often
seen as something mystical, not reducible to a simple process but something that we wait and hope will burst
up from the back of our mind. This might be true to an extent. We certainly have insights when we least expect
them, often when we’re engaged in another activity. While this type of creative insight is easier to have, they
are less predictable.

Why Risk-Takers Get More From Life

By Sam Brinson
successfastlane.com — Losing sucks, but not losing might suck even more. I flip a coin, if it’s heads, you win
