Time Zone
Your awareness of where others are in their journey. The ability to meet people in their time, not just yours.
Colin Angle and the Robot Dream
Time Zone adjusted as Colin Angle learned to meet people where they were instead of where he wished they were. When customers asked about $5,000 vacuum robots, Colin initially got frustrated because they weren't ready for the technology timeline he was living in. But he gradually adjusted his Time Zone settings to understand that consumers were in a different place — they wanted the benefits of robotics without the early adopter costs and complexity. This awareness helped him eventually build products that met people in their time zone, not just his.
