That’s the question Chef Grant Achatz asked in Chef’s Table when told there was no need to change his restaurant’s menu, because the guests hadn’t tried it before.

‍

Why is this relevant for us as founders?

‍

Just because the customer hasn’t seen it doesn’t mean the creator hasn’t outgrown it.

▶️ growing a team 

▶️ driving growth

▶️ provide value
