Chris Denson is a man of many talents and interests.After earning a degree in packaging engineering and working for a few years as an engineer for Daimler-Chrysler, he packed up his Isuzu Rodeo and moved to LA based on a passing invitation from a TV executive who invited Chris to meet with him if he ever came to LA. Although the meeting never materialized, Chris stayed and began his illustrious career riding life's roller coaster as an innovator in the marketing world. While still in college, Chris began doing stand-up comedy in clubs, a pursuit that he continued for a number of years into his career. Most importantly, it was that work that built his skills and confidence in writing, developing a sense of timing, and dealing with rejection from others. He then carried those gifts into screenwriting, production, and building an expertise in marketing based on thoughtful innovation. In 2014, Chris launched his podcast, Innovation Crush, where he hosts conversations with leaders in the world of innovation. This year, he also released his book, Crushing the Box, 10 Essential Rules for Breaking Essential Rules. In our conversation, we dig into several areas that we share in common: persistence in the face of adversity, curiosity and asking more effective questions, a willingness to live in a moderate amount of uncertainty, constantly learning through an abundance of ‘micro-failures,” and the positive and negatives of being multi-hyphenated polymaths.

Chris Denson is an award-winning innovator, marketer, stand-up comedian, and host of the Innovation Crush podcast. Chris is an expert at uncovering the best thinking and commonalities across a diverse array of cultures to bring success and innovation to creative projects. His work has been featured in Adweek, Forbes, the New York Times, and Inc. Denson was born in Detroit, Michigan and later attended Michigan State University where he earned a degree in packaging engineering and was a member of the school's martial arts team. While attending Michigan State, he began to explore stand up comedy and comedy writing by performing at local nightclubs and creating his own sketch comedy TV series that aired locally in Lansing, MI. Standup comedy would eventually lead him to win several competitions and land him an appearance on USA's Up All Night with Gilbert Godfrey. Chris was a great guest! We had a great talk about creativity in the 21st century and the role tech plays in the evolution of creative entrepreneurship. We delve into his philosophy of innovation and how his history in stand-up comedy and martial arts shaped his successful career.  Follow Chris on twitter @Densonology and visit his site: http://thecrush.co/innovation-crush-podcasts/ Of course, visit the official Wait What If Podcast site www.waitwhatif.com for everything #WWIPodcast related!

Additive Manufacturing isn't just 3D printing. Knitting isn't just for apparel. And being a venture-backed high-profile unicorn isn't the only way to make global impact. This episode features Connie Huffa of Fabdesigns, a company you've probably never heard of, but you've seen their products. It's is run by a couple with 70 years combined experience and deep intellectual property in the field of knitting technology. Yes, knitting! Connie explains how knitted textiles could be the future for medical devices, aerospace components, technical apparel for first responders, sports equipment, and more. You know those bright yellow Nike Flyknit shoes at the Olympics? Those were developed by Fabdesigns. It's hard to believe they almost went bankrupt as a result of that partnership--you'll hear about that, too. But they have since built their way back up and are now back in business in a new fabrication facility in the hills of Malibu. They consult to global companies looking to innovate their products, and in the process teach them to manufacture with zero waste using their high-tech technology. We go to visit to see their facility and how they do it. At the beginning of the episode, we start with a short chat about innovation trends with Chris Denson, host of the Innovation Crush podcast and the Director of OmnicomMediaGroup's Ignition factory.
