In this episode, I’m really excited to have as my guest, Steve Hoffman, or Captain Hoff as he’s called in Silicon Valley, the Captain & CEO of Founders Space, one of the world’s leading startup accelerators. He’s also a venture investor, serial entrepreneur, and author of several award-winning books. These include “Make Elephants Fly” and “Surviving a Startup”.

Steve launched Founders Space, with the mission to educate and accelerate entrepreneurs. Steve has trained hundreds of startup founders and corporate executives in the art of innovation and provided consulting to many of the world’s largest corporations, including Qualcomm, Huawei, Bosch, Intel, Disney, Warner Brothers, NBC, Gulf Oil, Siemens, and Viacom.

In our discussion, Steve talked to me about:

• What innovators should do first, before they come up with any ideas
• The essential ingredients that innovation teams must possess
• Celebrating "failure" in a way that we learn from that
