Everything that can be invented, has already been invented.

Innovate Everything podcast

Ever wondered how a sip of bourbon could feel like a bolt of lightning? That's exactly what we experienced as we paired St Augustine Bourbon with the electrifying buzz buttons, and we're sharing this zesty adventure with you. Meanwhile, the tale of Hubert Booth and his "Puffing Billy" will sweep you through the dusty corridors of vacuum cleaner history, revealing how psychological safety can lead to grand innovations. Join us, John and Katie Mode, as we raise a glass to the past and the sparks of creativity that continue to drive human progress.
Think the extraordinary always starts with the extraordinary? Think again. "Innovate the Ordinary" spotlights the charm of small tweaks that have shaped our world, from Stonehenge to the iPhone. We chat about how laziness might just be the mother of invention and why your next big idea might be hiding in plain sight among the mundane. It's all about appreciating the little changes that lead to big impacts—and we're here to toast to that incremental genius with a well-placed six-pack of Gatorade.
We're also taking a dive—not into cliché waters, but into the deep blue—to share our love for sharks and our support for ocean conservation with Salt and Finn Co. As Shark Week circles around, we're all about celebrating these incredible predators and what they teach us about our marine ecosystems. So whether you're an innovation enthusiast or a shark aficionado, grab your fins and a glass as we explore the wonders of land, sea, and everything in between.
