It's easy to say, 'I'm going to build something that already exists,' but it's difficult to clearly and succinctly describe something new.

Innovation is taking two things that already exist and putting them together in a new way.

It's important to be able to keep things fresh, no matter what age you are, or how many years you've been in the industry.
