What is Innovation? with Jared D. Simmons

Innovation is more than a buzzword. It’s how real progress gets made—inside teams, organizations, and the products we bring into the world.

I’m Jared D. Simmons, founder of OUTLAST Consulting and former innovation leader at Coca-Cola, McKinsey, and Procter & Gamble. I’ve spent my career helping teams turn ideas into real outcomes.

On this channel, I sit down with leaders, operators, and builders to explore what it actually takes to move from insight to execution.

We go beyond theory, exploring product development, organizational change, decision-making, and the messy reality of getting meaningful work done.

You’ll walk away with practical perspectives, along with the occasional detour into music, literature, or whatever else helps us think more clearly about the work.

If you’re building something, leading a team, or trying to make better decisions in complex environments, you’re in the right place.

Keep innovating…whatever that means.
