Episode Synopsis

In this dynamic episode, Scott Stirrett is joined by Eric Ries — entrepreneur, bestselling author of The Lean Startup and The Startup Way, and founder of the Long-Term Stock Exchange (LTSE). He explores how the principles of experimentation, vision, and agility can transform not only startups, but also individual careers. Eric shares how the Lean Startup methodology, originally designed to help businesses thrive in uncertainty, can empower early-career professionals to make bold decisions, test hypotheses about their work, and adapt to a rapidly evolving world. From founding a stock exchange with nothing but an idea and a government form, to navigating the rise of generative AI, Eric draws on decades of experience to offer practical advice for anyone navigating career ambiguity. Whether you're building your first MVP, pivoting in response to market changes, or trying to articulate your personal values in an age of institutional distrust, this episode offers a timely blueprint for embracing uncertainty with purpose.
