What happens when innovation isn't just a lofty ideal, but an everyday discipline accessible to everyone in an organization?In this episode of Practice Disrupted, Evelyn Lee is joined by Dr. Simone Ahuja, keynote speaker, innovation strategist, bestselling author, and founder of Blood Orange. Simone's path from dentistry to advising Fortune 500 companies on frugal innovation is anything but ordinary. Drawing on her research into jugaad innovation - a mindset of resourcefulness rooted in doing more with what you have - she helps leaders cut through “innovation theater” and focus on creating real, tangible value.Together, they explore how constraints can actually spark creativity, why the democratization of innovation matters, and how leaders can foster cultures of problem solving that scale from the grassroots up. Simone shares practical frameworks for managing up, influencing decision-makers, and breaking big challenges into small, testable experiments, whether you're in a small firm or a multinational corporation.The conversation connects back to architecture, where creative thinking often thrives in design work but lags in business operations. Simone challenges firms to think beyond client deliverables and embrace strategic abandonment, distributed innovation, and leadership practices that create space for both reflection and experimentation.Her message is clear: innovation is not reserved for R&D teams. It's a discipline, a mindset, and a shared responsibility across every level of an organization.“Innovation is some of the best training out there for leaders for navigating uncertainty, because you're thinking about what problems exist, how to rigorously prioritize, how to move forward and learn from that, and how to influence others along the way." - Dr. Simone AhujaThis episode closes with a reminder that disruption brings opportunity to those willing to reframe problems, leverage existing assets, and learn from other industries. Innovation doesn't have to be big, or expensive, it just has to add new value.Guest:Dr. Simone Ahuja is the founder of Blood Orange, a Minneapolis-based innovation strategy firm, and the author of Disrupt-It-Yourself and co-author of Jugaad Innovation. She works with organizations like Target, 3M, and Stanley Black & Decker to help leaders and teams innovate smarter without overcomplicating the process. Drawing on her background in dentistry, improv comedy, and grassroots entrepreneurship research, Simone champions resourceful problem solving and the democratization of innovation.Is This Episode for You?This episode is for you if:✅ You want to move beyond “innovation theater” into real, measurable change✅ You're looking for practical tools to foster innovation in your team or firm✅ You believe constraints can be a catalyst for creativity✅ You want to make problem solving a shared discipline across your organizationWhat have you done to take action lately?

In this episode of Don't Take No For an Answer, Eric Jesse and Alexander B. Corson review an update in the 3M self-insured retention decision after the Delaware Supreme Court closely ruled in favor of the insurer. The majority ruling enforced unusual language in a legacy CGL policy despite the dissent's view that the ruling elevated form over substance. Jesse and Corson advise policyholders to pay close attention to policy language and to be on the lookout for traps, even those that seem like a "pointless formality."

Ep 222 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into the headlines shaping agriculture, policy, and culture — with their usual dose of snark and sincerity. First up: Denver's $3M climate campaign telling residents to “eat less meat.” Is this just smart marketing or another example of tone-deaf city policy? The hosts unpack the contradictions between urban climate initiatives and the agricultural backbone of Colorado — and why voters might not be on board with this push. Then, a viral voicemail from a Cadillac buyer takes center stage. She's got “an energetic allergy” to Texas leather and wants to know exactly where her Escalade's interior was sourced from. Is it satire or a sign of how far removed consumers are from animal ag? The third discovery? A farm-to-skincare success story. Meet the Taylor sisters — fourth-gen plum farmers turning byproduct pits into luxury skincare with Le Prunier. From Neiman Marcus shelves to viral beauty status, this ag x luxury brand story has Tara ready to hit add to cart. And finally, a 175-year-old farm is being seized by local government under eminent domain for affordable housing. The hosts weigh legacy, policy, and the real danger of treating farmland as “fair game” for development. BUT WAIT — there's more! Stick around for a bonus mini-interview with Iowa corn and soybean farmer Joe Roberts, recorded live at the Iowa Corn 350 NASCAR race. From fuel independence to sustainability to getting more farmers in the driver's seat of national conversations, this conversation is fast-paced (literally) and full of insight. Check Out Iowa Corn

Isha Marla is a 14-year-old with a love for science who recently finished her last year at Tumwater Middle School in the Beaverton School District. She is also just one of 10 students in the nation, and the only one from Oregon, who made it to the finalist round of a national science competition sponsored by Discovery Education and 3M, which manufactures a vast array of products, from Post-It Notes to stethoscopes.    The 3M Young Scientist Challenge is open to middle school students who for this year’s competition submitted a short video to describe their scientific solution to a real-world problem. Marla’s entry focuses on using a material she made from seaweed and other ingredients to produce an environmentally sustainable fabric for making clothes. Her proposal aims to counter the phenomenon of fast fashion associated with brands like Shein, H&M and Uniqlo that are popular with consumers eager to buy the latest fashion trends at low prices. But chasing those trends at bargain prices can take a heavy environmental toll, with nearly two-thirds of discarded clothes ending up in a landfill, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.    Marla joins us for more details about her entry and chance to win a cash prize and the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” this fall.
