Eric Ries is the author of The Lean Startup and the creator of the Lean Startup methodology. He's spent two decades working with founders, and he's the founder of Answer.AI and the Long-Term Stock Exchange (LTSE). Fifteen years after The Lean Startup, he's onto a different problem. Not how to find something worth building, but how to keep it.

In this conversation, Eric explains why good companies get destroyed in the name of profit, the governing documents almost every founder signs without reading, and the structures a few companies use to protect their mission. He walks through the firing of Sol Price at FedMart, the Philip Morris acquisition of Vectura, and how Anthropic and Patagonia are built to stay true to their purpose. He also revisits The Lean Startup 15 years on, and what AI can and can't speed up.

Arvind Jain had already built a unicorn. He could have stopped there. But when he saw his own team drowning in information they couldn't find, losing hours every day to questions no one could answer, he couldn't ignore it. He started over from scratch. That became Glean, now valued at $7 billion.

His edge wasn't a bigger model or a better deck. It was focus, and the refusal to build what someone else was already building well.
