Don pays special attention to business and social trends, creating ideas that average 6-months ahead of the early adopter curve, but sometimes he jumps ahead and misses his mark by by a year or two (at one point a DTIG idea was more than 10 years ahead of the trend -- he hasn't yet decided if that was a positive or a negative...)
