Here are a few notes that I took while watching this.  I would encourage you to watch it below.  You'll get lots of ideas from his talk. 

#1 - Inspiration.
  • inspiration can come from anywhere 
  • spread your net wider than your own circle

#2 - Creativity 

  • it is a team effort
  • it is not the domain of a single individual  

#3 - Faith

  • believe in your team members
  • trust your team members
