Introducing - Drum Roll… Philo Farnsworth
Heard of him? No, he has nothing to do with pastry.
Time to set the record straight.
John Logie Baird didn’t invent television! The real credit should go to a 15-year-old farm boy… yes, Philo (not the pastry) Farnsworth.
Philo was 15 years old, plowing fields, when he dreamed up the concept that would become the television.
At 15! In a field! Not a lab, not a boardroom—a flipping field.
But here’s the thing: the idea is just the spark.
Ideas don’t have guarantees. They don’t come pre-packaged with success. It’s the doing, the relentless pursuit, the graft, that’s where the magic happens.
Philo’s idea wasn’t just a fleeting thought; it was the beginning of a revolution. And he dedicated his life to making it happen. His story is bonkers and brilliant.
What’s your ‘field’? And more importantly, what are you doing with your notions?
It’s not the idea that matters - it’s what you do with it.
I’d love to know your thoughts on this message. You can leave them here.
Be Brilliant!
Michael
