Today we chat with Phil McKinney, a successful business person and innovator who has been the CTO of HP and the CEO of Cable Labs.

We explore Phil’s career journey from starting as a software engineer and working on projects such as the original Mac, biometric security, and computer graphics, to leading the innovation program at HP and creating products that earned HP a spot on Fast Company’s list of the most innovative companies.

He shares some of the lessons and insights he learned along the way, as well as some of the mentors and influences that shaped his thinking.

Phil talks about his views on the difference between invention and innovation, and how he learned to communicate and collaborate with different roles and functions within an organization.

Join us for this inspiring interview with our friend Phil McKinney.

The question we would always ask in a pitch session was,
“Will this play in Iowa?”
Doesn't matter whether it plays in Silicon Valley or in New York.
Those are bubbles.
If you're looking to have a broad impact, you need to have an understanding of what people are dealing with on a day-to-day basis.
