Launch & Learn: Big Ideas for Business + Life

​What do physics, medicine, and startups have in common? Way more than you’d think. Some of the best ideas don’t come from staying in your lane—they come from taking insights from everywhere and applying them in fresh ways.

​In this workshop, we’ll explore the power of multidisciplinary thinking and how you can use mental models from science, investing, and entrepreneurship to crack tough problems and level up your decision-making. Think:

• ​Compounding (not just for interest rates—knowledge and trust compound, too)

• ​Inertia & momentum (why starting is hard, but staying in motion is magic)

• ​Inversion (sometimes the best way to win is by asking how to fail)

• ​Second-level thinking (seeing beyond the obvious to spot hidden opportunities)

​You’ll leave with a new set of “mental tools” to help you see challenges differently, spark better ideas, and make smarter calls in your projects, startups, and beyond. If you’re curious, creative, and ready to mash up disciplines to fuel innovation, this workshop is your launchpad. This workshop is facilitated by ZLI Entrepreneur-in-Residence, Mike Johnson.
