Creating Innovation by Asking the Dumb Questions with Karl Rude, Health Management Services LLC
"As you start looking at the second half of the game, it's like 'What have I become? How did I become that? And how do I influence who I want to be by taking the history of how I got here?" Karl Rude is a Billings born and raised entrepreneur that has used his formative life experiences to be innovative in his work and to build a career that is highly meaningful to him.
In this episode of The Vault, Karl shares his background growing up in Billings and how mentorship, learning perseverance through losing, and earning his first "Master's Degree" at the kitchen table shaped who he is today. He developed a love for problem solving early on in life by working on and studying cars, and later in his career found that being a positive disruptor can spark radical change that is beneficial and impactful in whatever feat you are facing. From playing soccer as a child to working in business and healthcare as an adult, Karl has learned that problem solving and innovation comes from perseverance, being brave enough to be wrong, and asking the dumb questions.
Listen in to this episode packed full of good humor, heart-warming stories, and powerful quotes and ideas that will inspire you to start asking the dumb questions and spark innovation all around you!
