As Swisher put it, “entrepreneurship is about suspending disbelief,” and it’s difficult to envision and create something that’s never existed before. Ransom had a great piece of advice along these lines: “Don’t overthink it. What’s the worst that can happen?” If the worst is something short of complete disaster, you may as well try it, and see what happens.
