435: How Anyone Can Turn An Unsolved Problem Into a Breakthrough Success with Danny Warshay

There seem to be a lot of college professors writing books these days; or at least I’m interviewing my fair share of them. That many are writing their first (or in some cases second, third, or fourth) book is for good reason. Their research and experiences testing their theories in the classroom is something few of us have the ability to do.

My latest guest is a professor at Brown University. His name is Danny Warshay and he’s written a new book called See, Solve, Scale: How Anyone Can Turn an Unsolved Problem Into a Breakthrough Success.

Entrepreneurship, he says, is not a spirit or a gift. It is a process that anyone can learn, and that anyone can use to turn a problem into a solution with impact.

Danny overturns the common misconception that entrepreneurship is a hardwired trait or the sole province of high-flying MBAs, and provides a proven method to identify consequential problems and an accessible process anyone can learn, master and apply to solve them.

In short, you’ll learn how to find and validate a problem, develop an initial small-scale solution, and scale a long-term solution.
