On-screen text
Did you know that Kodak invented the digital camera in 1975, but their bosses forced the engineer to bury the project to protect their profitable film business? Decades later, that same decision led them to bankruptcy. You're doing the exact same thing in your life right now. You're clinging to a comfortable job, a safe routine, or a mediocre process because it's working just enough today. But comfort is a slow poison. If you're not willing to disrupt your own present, the market will eventually do it for you. Stop hiding your best ideas. Kill your comfort zone before it kills your future.

Decades later, that same decision led them to bankruptcy. Don't let the fear of losing your "comfort" stop you from building your future. If you don't disrupt your own present, the market will eventually do it for you. Are you clinging to something that’s holding you back?
