Ep 144 - The Shark Tank Cowboy: Turning Wild Ideas Into Real Money|Smith Baggett

And, you know, again, it's kind of like the shark and the minnow.

You know, are you the consumer or are you the provider, right? And, uh, we'll also go into this as I button up this other one.

It's just so much to say and talk about, but, uh, there's a saying I like that, that you saying that reminds me of this.

I love sayings and phrases and inspirational quotes and it's, I may butcher it a little, but it's something along the line of, I really love this.

Um, innovation innovation is rewarded execution is worshipped and what that means is in a layman's terms is Innovation is an idea.

You and I could sit here and talk or we may go, damn, man, that's a pretty good idea.

You tell somebody your idea and they go, that's a badass idea.

That's great.

They're rewarding you.

They go, man, that's great.

You're so smart and creative.

That's a great idea.

You got rewarded for your innovation, right? By them telling you you're smart and clever and figured something out.

That's where 90 to 95% of people stop.

They have a great idea and they go, damn, that's a good idea.

And they go back to their daily grind and they don't execute.

That's where you have an idea and you're rewarded by people telling you you're smart.

But when you make it a reality, you've executed.

And that's where people go, holy shit.

you're a wizard, man, Smith or whoever, man, Crockett finally did his podcast and he's got 200,000 followers.

Badass man.

You know, that idea Smith had about our phones dying, it's in his hand and he created it.

That's the worship part.

Cause a lot of people don't have the drive, the initiative or the know-how to execute.

They have the ideas, brilliant ideas, but they don't execute.
