## Brief Summary of Episode #182

Financial institutions tend to have a strict risk-reward mindset. 

Why is that?

Because innovation needs room for vulnerability, so taking risks can be scary.

But surrounding yourself with people you trust can allow you and your team to openly share ideas and aspirations you may not have thought possible.

At the end of the day, technology alone isn’t enough to revolutionize the financial sector.

Left-brain logic may drive the financial industry.

But right-brain innovation will transform it.

I talked with an expert on the subject, [Jody Guetter](https://www.linkedin.com/in/jody-guetter-cfmp-792060138/), Executive VP of Market Innovation for Nymbus Labs, a strategic marketing and innovation unit of [Nymbus](https://www.linkedin.com/company/nymbus/).

You may have asked yourself why you’re struggling with thinking of fresh concepts.

Creativity can only go so far from staring at a screen.

Collaboration is key to diversifying thought and opening oneself up to new possibilities.

Jody goes deeper on this topic by discussing the importance of intentional interaction for bringing new ideas to the table.
