“Ideas are easy, so let’s have lots of them.”
“Invest in them incrementally.”
“Make sure that the ideas we invest in can be “recycled” by adding to the collective intelligence and business capabilities, so that if they don’t work out individually we have created food for other groups to use.”
– Adam Richardson

Do you watch Ze Frank? He had a similar point… ideas are like Brain Crack:

Even if an idea is bad, you gotta get it out of your head! Talk about it, try to do it. If it fails, who cares?!
The important point is that you will never have NEW IDEAS until you try to execute on the OLD IDEAS. If it works, great! If not, at least you have more experience than somebody who never tried!
Those who hang on to their ideas until they can execute perfectly are the tragic characters… ideas are addictive, like brain crack. If you hang on to them for too long, you can mess up all your potential.
