Yes, I have had a lack of embarrassing moments over the past few months. I have gotten better at controlling my body when I am about to fall, I slow down when I am running down the stairs too quickly, I talk a little slower, think a little longer, and observe surroundings more intently.

I know them all too well… shoulders burning, trapezoids on fire, fingers cramped; the symptoms of a San Francisco Grocery Shopper (AKA safra grocshop).

In a talk over some healthy Jamba Juice, long time friend Alyssa and I shared our thoughts on innovators and how they can keep creating new inventions and ideas over and over again.
