Innovation
“The Bad Clip Art Slide”
We innovate not for the sake of
being different but because it
challenges us to move forward and
shed the old guards of the past
while challenging conventional

FAILURE
• For every failure we had we had spreadsheets
that looked awesome.
• “ If anything goes bad then I did it. If anything
goes semi-good then we did it. If anything
goes real good then you did it.”
– Bear Bryant
