Startups Decoded, Ep 70 — 'we teach people that success will protect what they care about'

Andy Walsh hosts Eric on Startups Decoded (top-2%-globally podcast, 500K+ downloads) for an hour-long launch-week conversation on why founders drift from purpose — pulling the Saul Price / FedMart / Costco arc into the spotlight.

“We basically are teaching people this philosophy that is about using the startup as a financial instrument to enrich its shareholders. Like that's its essential purpose. That's what it does. And we teach people that if you do this well, you show obeisance to this idea, from that you will gain leverage.” — Eric Ries on Startups Decoded, Ep 70
