True innovators think way outside the box–stomping it down and tap dancing over it on their way to success. And with these ten unexpected metaphors to guide you, you too can demolish the status quo and claim creative victory.

In Crushing the Box, he shares wisdom and stories from his experiences and those of innovation rockstars to help you find your own inspired path. From learning to swim like an otter to fleeing like a refugee or even ruining everything, Chris’s unconventional and irreverent advice will help you reimagine, experiment, collaborate, grow, and succeed.
It’s time to break all the rules and kiss that boring old box goodbye.
