Show Notes
Nothing I do is completely original. In fact, so many ideas that people credit to me are originally from someone else.
In this episode I want to give credit to the people who’ve provided some truly impactful ideas to the world. This is not a complete list by any means; I’m sure I’ve missed someone, so I plan to add to this list over time.
I hope you enjoy it, and feel free to leave a comment if you have something to add!
