Today was the most incredible 3 hours of sushi in the western hemisphere, wine, cigars, and transformative conversation with my old friend Sam who leads one of the prime multi-star restaurant legacies in the US.

The conversation on the top culinary and entrepreneurship leadership in the east coast restaurant space kept spiraling back to the theme of humility-infused innovation, suggesting that humility and innovation are fusion mates, not adversaries.

When any leaders in any space think about the future, how do humility and innovation become core principles in the design, whether we're talking about food, music, dance, technology, energy, education, or the transformation of communities?
