Die. Rise from the ashes. Witness the new dawn. Call it whatever you want. First, you must die. Our team has experienced it, too. John 12:24 says, "Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds."

When we allow things within us (e.g. our titles, identities, activities, pride) to die, we open up space for new possibilities. We hold on tight to these things as they define who we are in many ways. But what if we could come to the innovation table without them?

At Seeds, we believe that we must first get ourselves, collectively, in the right place before we'll see great solutions and possibilities emerge. If we can enter the innovation space with humility, stewardship, and curiosity amongst others, we simultaneously prepare ourselves for something great to happen. So, first, you must die.
