How To Actually Disrupt an Industry (Instead of Blending In)
Yesterday I was driving and something hit me. Every car around me had a huge logo on the front — GMC, Ford, Chevy and I didn’t think twice about any of them. They were visible, but they weren’t memorable. Then I thought… what if a new car company launched with no logo at all? No badge. No name. Just a clean, mysterious look driving past you on the road. You’d look twice. You’d think about it later. You’d probably even search it because it broke the pattern your brain expects. That, to me, is what real disruption looks like. It’s not about being louder or adding more it’s about doing something different enough that people can’t ignore it. Most brands blend in because they follow what already works. But when everything looks the same, nothing stands out. Disruption is simply introducing something unfamiliar in a familiar environment. Create curiosity. Spark a pause. Make people think. If your content or business isn’t sticking, don’t try to do what everyone else is doing better do what no one else is doing at all.
