Jim Collins, a renowned researcher on business management and leadership, invited iFood's leadership to his lab in Colorado. This invitation was a result of a question about Brazil that captured his curiosity. Collins is known for his endless curiosity, which drives his studies. During his two-day visit to iFood, he asked probing questions and listened attentively.

His humor and ability to make others see their own blind spots created a relaxed environment for deep discussions. Collins emphasizes the importance of choice and discipline in achieving greatness, rather than relying on circumstances. He practices self-reflection through a three-mark timer, dedicating half of his workdays to creative tasks.

Collins' wisdom is not just about knowledge, but about embodying it through a life of rigor and discernment. He shared insights about Steve Jobs, Amazon, and Reed Hastings, emphasizing the importance of asking questions and learning from experiences. Collins also addressed the difference between knowledge and wisdom, encouraging recipients to reflect on how they spend their limited "tickets" in life.

His final question highlighted the need to look beyond current achievements and consider the future, urging the iFood leadership to dream of where they are heading.
