I didn’t mean to generalize. I think I just used my words poorly. It is a very nuanced topic as you said. I apologize if came across wrong.
Obviously I would never question your passion and love for what you do (or that of any of the other folks involved with Inventables). The video just reminds me of some elements of this podcast you were on, Zach Kaplan on this weeks Makercast podcast. The acrylic story you told is a great example. As is the Makerslide story. They both struck me as seemingly small moments of opportunity that ended up creating pretty substantial turns in the history of the company.
I think a lot of us, once we find our passion, we tend to set our eyes on a goal, and it would be very easy to miss our “acrylic” because it doesn’t necessarily fit the direction we think we should be headed.
