Summary
Everyone wants to be a "disruptor." But let's be honest—most of the time, it's not disruption. It's survival. In this episode, Jon, James, and Jared break down why "disruption" is one of the most overused (and misunderstood) buzzwords in business. From Kodak and Blockbuster to Uber, Amazon, and Netflix, we get into what actually happens when companies don't adapt—and why the ones that do often stumble into change rather than plan it. We also dig into the personal side: why people resist change, stay too long in bad jobs, and call it "stability." Sometimes disruption just means you finally had a backup plan. If you've ever been told to "embrace change," this one's for you. Rants: ** Why most "disruptors" are just people with good timing **How backup plans become billion-dollar ideas **The fear, denial, and comfort that kill innovation **Why change always feels stupid before it looks smart Because sometimes, "disruption" is just the polite way of saying you finally did something different.
