Leap Academy with Ilana Golan
Naveen Jain: Turning Audacious Ideas Into Life-Changing Innovations | E66

So that's number one part. And the second part of the puzzle really is you never ever focus on how you're going to solve the problem, but you want to ask yourself, what are the set of problems that need to be solved for this big problem to be solved? So let's pick any examples, right? So let's say we want to live on setter. You don't say, ah, that's not going to happen, right?

You simply say, what would it take for us to be able to live on Saturn? Number one, you have to be able to leave Earth orbit. Number two, go from all the way Earth orbit to the Saturn orbit. Number three, land on Saturn. And number four, find a way to actually live on Saturn. So there are four problems that need to be solved. And suddenly you will realize,

Leaving the Earth orbit, we have done that many times, we call them a rocket, right? Going from Earth orbit to Saturn, well, we have been to Mars, so we know and we have taken horizon that has gone beyond Pluto out of our solar system, so we do know how to go long distances.

And if you're going to have people there, maybe we'll have to modify it a bit more about how we're going to do that, but that's a technology that does exist. In terms of landing on Saturn, well, we don't quite know that, but we do know how to land on Mars. And maybe the gravity on Saturn is slightly less or slightly more, but we landed on the Mars three different ways.

We did the bouncing ball, we did the crane, we did the parachute. So we know multiple ways we can actually land on a different planet. And now maybe we have to modify a little bit, but we know it's the incremental problem. And the last thing is, how are we going to go live there? And that really comes down to my last question, which is, why me?

And this is about the questions you ask is the problem you solve. So why me is really about how are you looking at the problem from a different perspective than everyone else has been looking in the industry. For example, If you say, I want to solve a world hunger problem, or I want to live on Saturn, it's the same thing.

When people are talking about every single person who wants to solve a world hunger problem, if you ask an expert, they will tell you it is about increasing the yield of the crops so you have more food for more people. It is about reducing the wastage in the transport because so much of the food that's wasted in the transport. So how do you grow the food closer to where people are?

But no one will ever ask the question, why do we eat food? Because suddenly when you ask question, why we eat food? And you say, oh, you need energy and you need nutrition. What are the different ways can we get energy? Well, plants get energy from photosynthesis and there are bacteria that grow in the radioactive nuclear waste. They get the energy from radiation and they protect

their DNA from radiation. So what if we can take a genetic material from these bacteria, use CRISPR to modify our cells, and now we are radiation resistant and we can get energy from radiation. And suddenly it is like living on set and say, honey, do you want to go out and get some radiation, not go out and get some pizza, right?

And you have now opened up the problem to many more solutions that you would have by simply asking why we eat food, not how to grow more food. And that's the foundation to solving big problems.
