Episode notes
What this conversation opens up.
Hello, listeners, members, and subscribers! Our fifteenth Moonshots Master episode is here and we are leaping into Entrepreneurship and Lean Start-Up, one of the most valuable methodologies we have ever used!
Kicking off with the team from Productivity Game, we hear a breakdown of Eric Ries’ experience at imvu and how there is so much value in learning what customers actually want. We also get inspired from the folks at Development That Pays, who tell us about the very best MVPs of all time.
As we look to understand more about Lean we go to the master himself, Eric Ries, who teaches us how to utilise a Lean methodology when building your product. Dan Martell then talks about his ‘problem, pain, passion’ framework that he uses to validate business ideas, and how we should never build a business backwards.
Now we’re ready to learn about adopting the habits and framework, we revisit Productivity Game who guides us with the steps to building an MVP. Closing out the Master series episode we have Eric Ries again, who reassures us that many startups have ‘pivoted’ their strategy, and then gone on to become thriving companies.
