SPEAK LIKE A CEO

237: Turning rejection into a revolution. Steve Blank


Listen Later

How do you turn rejection into a revolution? Oliver welcomes the legendary Steve Blank – co-creator of the Lean Startup movement and recognized as one of the "Masters of Innovation" by Harvard Business Review. 

Steve's bestselling book "The Four Steps to the Epiphany" distinguished startups that search for business models from existing companies that execute them – launching the modern entrepreneurship movement.

The conversation dives deep into why communication is a force multiplier for founders, unpacking the four steps of an effective communications strategy. Steve also shares wisdom on the importance of getting out of the building to truly understand customers.

On a personal note, Steve opens up about being snubbed when he first proposed the lean startup ideas that went on to revolutionize entrepreneurship. He also gives a glimpse into what it's like delivering a commencement speech to 10,000 people.
