Lean Blog Interviews - Healthcare, Manufacturing, Business, and Leadership

Patrick Vlaskovits and Brant Cooper, ’The Lean Entrepreneur’

Listen Later

My guests for episode #162 are Patrick Vlaskovits (@pv)  and  Brant Cooper (@brantcooper), previously guests on episode #99. I recently ran into them at the Lean Startup Conference and today we are speaking about their newest book (coming in February) The Lean Entrepreneur: How to Create Products, Innovate with New Ventures, and Disrupt Markets. You can learn more via their website:

www.LeanEntrepreneur.co

In this episode, we talk about:

  • What is Lean Entrepreneurship?
  • How does Lean create disruptive innovations?
  • Why is it better to fail fast and learn your idea isn't viable sooner rather than later?
  • Why is “follow your passion” really bad advice?
  • What's a value stream in the context of a startup?
  • Why would data “inform decisions” rather than “make” them for you?

    • Their books:

    • The Lean Entrepreneur: How to Create Products, Innovate with New Ventures, and Disrupt Market
  • The Entrepreneur's Guide to Customer Development: A cheat sheet to The Four Steps to the Epiphany
