Can a disruptor company be uncontroversial?

Do disruptors create disruption?

Disruption used to have a negative connotation but now I suppose it’s good to be in pursuit of disruption.

Accordingly, I present to you dear readers my first intentionally disruptive post for my favorite disruptor company: hittingthesweetspot by Bob Skelley at bobskelley.com.

That’s a mouthful of disruption.

Do disruptors prefers salmon patties or beef for their burgers?

Can a salmon patty even be a burger?

I would suggest only after cooking it medium to well done.

Disruption has evolved into a good thing.

Disrupt this, disrupt that, disrupt your brand?

Don’t get me started on branding and brands.

Being a disruptor, and having it reflected in your brand, is now desirable.

Brands have usurped mission statements (both personal- and business-wise), but that is a topic for another post and time.

Enter the interruption

It wasn’t too long ago that interruptions were unwanted; kind of just like disruptions.

I used to be very efficient at interrupting. I could add value sometimes by interrupting.

How do you add value interrupting something or someone?

Well, if it’s a person who is speaking, interrupting them, while rude, can be overall very productive, provided the goal is stop that person from continuing to babble on.

I imagine it’s the same thing with disrupting someone or something.

“Really admired the way you looked up at the ceiling fluorescent light in a disruptive way, Bob–truly groundbreaking.”

I guess it’s a fine line between interrupting and disrupting.

But sometimes they can serve the same purpose like getting the potty mouth to quit dropping f bombs.

Nothing stops dirty talk like either a good interruption or disruption.

Tech has our back

They never say it in their commercials, but Microsoft and Apple are trying to make you smarter by releasing new gadgets and operating systems regularly.

There’s nothing like unwanted change to make you more resilient.

Resiliency is very important, don’t get me wrong. You just shouldn’t have to be resilient when it comes to using your new computer.

Every update makes me wonder if I could live without it because inadvertently something somewhere is in a different place.

But as it turns out this is actually a feature as companies don’t promote this but they are trying to make your brain expand and consequently become more intelligent by needing to figure out what to click on and where to find it all over again.

Genius? Not really. For anyone that’s scratching their heads, this is an early April Fool’s day bit in the above segment.

Examples of non-disruptive questions

Is it alright to enjoy barbecue sauce cold?

Do you come here often?

Last night was crazy for me, was it crazy for you, too?

Would you like fries with that?

Are there any books available that are still being judged by their covers?

Why does decaffeinated coffee still have caffeine?

Who is the person you loathe most in the world? Wait, could that be disruptive? I’ll let you decide.

Is it really possible for everything that is old to actually be new again?

Are there any plans afoot for a movement that would be spearheaded by anti-ageism advocates?

Are disruptors just hopped up on caffeine?
