STATION DC hosts Eric in conversation with NPR's Ari Shapiro — a fireside chat for DC founders, operators, and policymakers, followed by a happy hour and book signing at STATION's Union Market space.

“STATION DC is proud to host an evening with Eric Ries to celebrate the release of his new book, Incorruptible — an unflinching look at how incentives, systems, and human behavior shape outcomes in ways we don't always see, but feel every day.” — STATION DC event listing on Luma

“Last night I went to a book talk at STATION DC with Eric Ries for his new book Incorruptible, moderated by Ari Shapiro. Eric is the author of The Lean Startup, probably one the most influential business book of this generation. And despite that, or maybe because of that, I was really struck by how thoughtful and humble he was.”
George Maina Mwangi Founder, WanderWorth

“It's been a long time since I've been so moved by a new book and the message behind it!”

“He redefined profit. Not as extraction. Not as the thing you maximize instead of doing good. Profit as the maximization of human flourishing.”
Rob Runett Partner, Motley Fool Ventures

“Ries said the era of shareholder primacy is over, and we've moved into an era of extraction primacy. The next destination should be mission primacy.”
