Dr. Matthew and Bruce discuss why it's important to think about incorporating innovation into your business. When you're providing a service no one else is providing, not only do you have a competitive edge, but you can also make your own rules along the way. Humans are designed to be creative and if you can incorporate that into your business model, you'll find it will fuel you to new heights and achievements without it leaving you drained or burned out.
