Seriously?

We all know the name Gillette—it’s synonymous with shaving. But did you know King Camp Gillette was actually a utopian dreamer who wanted to build a futuristic city near Niagara Falls?
In this episode of Seriously, Jeff Dixon explores the fascinating history of the man who invented “disposable culture.” Discover how a simple piece of advice from a bottle cap inventor led to the creation of the disposable razor blade, changed the global economy, and revolutionized how we live today.
Plus, stick around for the challenge: Why followers of Jesus need to stop playing it safe and start being on the “cutting edge” of innovation.

It makes copies, right? But the story of the Xerox machine is one of the most powerful illustrations of the Christian journey you’ll ever hear. It began with an inventor, Chester Carlson, whose deep pain sparked a revolutionary idea that everyone told him was worthless.
In this episode of “Seriously,” we trace Carlson’s incredible path from a painful, dead-end job to becoming a multimillionaire, only to make his new life goal to die a poor man. Host Jeff Dixon connects the dots between this amazing piece of history and our own spiritual lives—from being a “copy” of Christ to finding God’s calling in our suffering and persevering when everyone else tells us to quit. You’ll never look at an office copier the same way again. Seriously.
