### Why these stand out
* Johansson emphasises **diversity and intersectionality**: the idea that breakthrough innovation often happens when different fields, cultures or disciplines collide.
* He highlights that **failure is part of the path** to brilliance—not a sign of defeat but a necessary stepping stone.
* He points out that innovation isn’t just about having a great idea—it’s also about **making it real and socially meaningful**.
* The quotes are applicable across business, creativity, education and even personal growth.
