Lydia Frank: Startup Day Seattle kicked off with mission over money

B2B SaaS VP Marketing recaps Eric's opening fireside with Todd Bishop — captures the 'vegetables and dessert' framing and Eric's redefinition of profit.

“I'll likely post more later, but it was so refreshing to have #StartupDay kick off with a focus on the importance of mission over money. In this interview with Eric Ries (author of The Lean Startup and now Incorruptible) and Todd Bishop, Eric redefined profit as the "maximization of human flourishing." As Eric stated, "We treat mission like the dessert you get to have after eating your vegetables of being a serious business person." But I'd argue it's the whole meal.” — Lydia Frank on LinkedIn
