Perceptions

You can have the greatest idea, but if it is not communicated effectively, no one will ever see it.

Disruption is when you break away from these conventions, and is an effective advertising technique. There are pleny of great ideas, products, art etc. out there, but it has to catch the attention of the right, or enough, people to be significant. Everything comes down to perceptions.

I am part of the problem'
