Hi, it's Robin Sharma. Welcome to the Mastery Sessions.

Hi, it's Robin Sharma, author of the leader who had no title, founder of the Titan Academy,

and welcome to this Mastery Session. This mastery session is all about a secret of

massively creative people. So here's the backstory a little while ago. I was

watching YouTube and I came across a PBS special on one of my favorite heroes, Thomas Edison.

And this special was, it sort of got behind his mindset, it got behind his work routines, it got

behind him as a visionary. I mean this is a man who had so many patents who

achieved so much who was so devoted to bringing on genius into the world.

I mean he clearly changed our lives and I know you know this but one of the things he did I still remember from this documentary,

he went to the council in Manhattan.

And this was a time where homes were lit up with candles and I think kerosene lamps.

And he said, you know, I want to do something that's never been done in the history of humanity

I want to light up a full city block in Manhattan and they laughed at him because every visionary is initially ridiculed before they were revered. But then they said yes.

And so what he did was he took his technology and he was allowed to dig up the streets of Manhattan and he laid down the cabling and he set some power stations.

And it went on for I believe a few years and people were wondering if he was going to be able to make it.

And then one day he did something that stunned the world.

He pressed a button or he flipped a switch and a whole city block in Manhattan got lit up.

I mean, this man is a man who was a true visionary,

a man who was a truly creative person.

And so I've been reading about Thomas Edison more and more, but how he literally set up his work routines.

And so what this master session is really all about is his Menlo Park.

I mean, what he did was he developed this laboratory.
