"I Had Thousands of Bad Ideas First” — On Curiosity, AI, and the Power of Patents

Mike Todasco has over 100 patents, built a niche e-commerce site before Shopify existed, and shaped innovation at PayPal during the rise of machine learning. In this episode, he shares how curiosity—not qualifications—pushed him from comic books to corporate innovation to AI education. A candid conversation about failing early, building ideas that don't scale, and why keeping a notepad by your bed might be your best decision in the age of AI.
