#20- Visionary Leaders in Bollywood | Tesla, Tiny Tim & Chak De! India

0:00 So are you superhuman? Hey there.

0:06 How you doing? Amy again?

0:09 And I'm sure you can already tell.

0:12 I'm ready to go. We talked superheroes, but are

0:18 you superhuman? You can tell me.

0:23 Do you have something other than me?

0:26 Not a superpower of sorts to maybe see for example what

0:34 others cannot. Can you see the unseen like

0:42 Superman with supervision? Telescopic microscopic X-ray

0:50 sight. World changing innovation almost

0:56 always starts as one person's vision of something that does

1:04 not yet exist and that most people cannot imagine.

1:11 That vision, then has to survive doubt, resistance and failure

1:20 long enough to become reality. Every legendary transformation,

1:28 whether the light bulb, civil rights movements, Space Flight

1:35 or the Internet, began this way, as a solitary invisible what if,

1:45 but only gradually, became everyone else's new normal.

1:53 Innovators look at the same world as everyone else, but

2:00 notice a gap, a contradiction, or a new pattern and think it

2:09 could be otherwise. At this stage, the idea is

2:14 purely mental. Heavier than air, flight,

2:20 electric light in every home, personal computers on every

2:25 desk, a reusable rocket. All began as images,

2:35 visualizations, concepts. Someone said that did not match

2:41 the current world. Because there is no proof yet.

2:48 Most people naturally treat it as fantasy, impossible or

2:55 unnecessary. History of innovation is full of

3:03 this will never work, no one will want this reactions.

3:11 What separates legendary innovators is not just the idea,

3:18 but commitment to it before evidence exists.

3:25 Over time, what was once unimaginable becomes normal and

3:32 then invisible. People stop seeing the original

3:36 leap and assume it was always going to happen.

3:40 Yet behind every such shift, scientific, technological,

3:48 artistic, social, there was a moment where it only existed as

3:57 a vision in someone's mind, an unrealistic belief no one else

4:04 shared, a possibility that reality had never yet displayed.

4:12 Because, as Steve Jobs points out, the people who are crazy

4:18 enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do.

4:24 Genius, in the historical innovative sense, is often the

4:31 ability to believe in a coherent future reality that does not yet

4:38 exist. Visionary figures often describe

4:43 concrete features of a future world long before the tools

4:49 exist. Tesla in the early 1900s

4:56 predicted a global system. Yes, a wireless communication uh

5:03 huh, where individuals would carry small devices to access

5:10 information instantly and connect worldwide, essentially

5:17 describing smartphones and mobile Internet.

5:21 Nearly a century, early Russian rocket pioneer Tiziolkovsky

5:32 worked out the rocket equation and wrote about human

5:37 spaceflight and permanent space habitats long before any space

5:43 technology existed. His math and vision laid the

5:50 conceptual groundwork for modern rocketry.

5:54 Yeah, historical genius is not only high intelligence, it is

6:02 the courage and persistence to treat a well founded inner

6:09 vision as more authoritative than present appearances long

6:18 enough for the rest of the world to catch up.

6:23 Tiny Tim from A Christmas Carol we talked about and Kabir Han

6:30 from Jagti, India are very different on the surface, right,

6:35 A frail Victorian child and a tough modern hockey coach.

6:42 But they are alike in one crucial way.

6:47 Both have a genius for vision and belief.

6:55 Each sees goodness and potential, and each believes in

7:02 a reality that does not yet exist, then lives as if it could

7:09 be real. Others see Scrooge as hopelessly

7:16 mean and the crotch is this pitiable Tiny Tim from within

7:23 That poverty and sickness still responds with universal goodwill

7:30 and gratitude, not bitterness. Others see the Indian woman's

7:37 team as weak, divided by region and unmarketable.

7:43 Kabir sees grit, talent and the possibility of unity under

7:53 pressure. In both cases, the majority

7:57 vision is dismissive, A hopeless miser, a useless team.

8:05 The genius vision notices something hidden, an unawakened

8:13 conscience and Scrooge unshaped excellence in the players Kabir

8:21 trains and disciplines, as if he already has a world class team

8:29 long before the results or attitude justify it.

8:35 He structures practice, selection and strategy around

8:40 the future version of them that only he currently believes in,

8:48 or sees for that matter. This is the same pattern as

8:54 visionary innovation. A mentally real future.

9:01 A redeemed Scrooge. A champion team.

9:06 A present that contradicts it. One person stubbornly choosing

9:14 to trust the inner vision. As Kabir Han says, to build a

9:21 team, you don't need power or force, You need intent.

9:29 Tiny Tim and Kabir Han both act from the future, not the

9:36 present. That consistent stance forces

9:40 the people around them to either break away or rise to meet the

9:49 vision. Both say you are more than what

9:56 the world currently sees and a better version of you.

10:03 Us, is real enough that I will stake myself on it.

10:11 So Tiny Tim and Kmur Hahn are each a visionary of goodness and

10:18 capability, believing in a reality redeemed hearts,

10:25 respected women champions that does not yet exist, and helping

10:31 to make it exist by daring to see it first.

10:42 I'm not Tiny Tim, I'm no Kabir Han.

10:47 I'm just a simple girl who loves her some film.

10:53 But I see, I also see what does not yet exist.

11:07 Can you see it? The possibility all around us,

11:17 in US.
