You have a wider platform from which to learn, with more freedom to decide when and what to learn.

But if you only interview people with accomplishments, then you have a much broader base to work from.

A lot of people in our industry haven't had very diverse experiences. So they don't have enough dots to connect, and they end up with very linear solutions without a broad perspective on the problem.

Since there is always the possibility of surprise in thin, dead markets, less capital should be risked there than in markets which are broad and moving.

When your efforts are diffused over a wide area they won' t have much of an impact.
