We need more thinkers & doers. We need more creators, geeks &
risk-takers. We need more entrepreneurs & intrepreneurs.

The defenders of the status quo have a distaste for change agents, catalysts, innovators, outliers, linchpins and people who make it happen. They don't even like the taste of bacon.
The defenders of the status quo live in a 9-5 world and they love to say “that’s the way we’ve always done it.” They’re sitting on a huge pile of wealth and they’re milking that cash cow to death.
The defenders of the status quo are terrified you’ll put your creative idea into action. Quit waiting. The defenders of the status quo are no match for you.
