Steve and Nicole are at HCL's Unstructure conference at Disneyworld where Malcolm Gladwell and his hair gave a fascinating keynote on the advantages of being an "outsider."
Yes I had looked up "Outliers" after hearing his talk on "outsiders" because I was curious about the common thread. It seems there's more to the Outliers idea than his keynote covered, but being an "outsider" is at least part of being an "Outlier."
