Summary
A tragedy in the Apollo program revealed a powerful truth: the greatest failures aren’t always technical; they’re failures of imagination. In this milestone 300th episode, Randall challenges nonprofit leaders to rethink how they see risk, innovation, and the future itself. Drawing lessons from NASA and the space race, he outlines five practical ways to break free from limiting assumptions and uncover new possibilities. Because in a rapidly changing world, the organizations that thrive won’t just react, they’ll imagine what others never considered.
