The first word processer, the first smartphone, the first car, the first plane, it has this connotation of a breakthrough investigation thats in essence a quantum leap. And my book is about how we as a society need to be innovating more and how the really significant innovations that move the dial are these breakthrough zero to one companies. Host is Silicon Valley a zero to one, does that have a zero to one mindset . Guest theres, theres definitely Silicon Valley at this point is the center of innovation in the u.
