Plus, Manoush's daughter weighs in on entrepreneurship.

S5 EP1: Eric Ries' Radical Stock Market Experiment

Season 5 · Episode 1

Thursday, July 23, 2020 • Duration 38:54

When Eric Ries wrote The Lean StartUp he had no idea his book would inspire a new generation of entrepreneurs to ‘pivot’ and ‘iterate.’ Now Eric is 'disrupting' how we do business again. His Long Term Stock Exchange (LTSE) requires companies to change their measurements of success. Rather than live and die by quarterly earnings reports that require inhumane management tactics, companies on the LTSE have to do right by their employees, customers, and communities. Is that really so radical?

This is the first episode of Season 5 which explains six systemic problems and profiles six amazing people working to fix them.
