The Business Leader Podcast — Sir Richard Harpin hosts Eric Ries: 'Anybody who has found a way to make money without creating value is corrupting the moral logic of our economic system'

The Business Leader Podcast — UK business publication (38K YouTube subs; sponsored by RBC Wealth Management) hosted by Sir Richard Harpin (founder of Homeserve; £4B exit) — releases a 62-minute conversation with Eric on Incorruptible. Frames the book as 'Silicon Valley's innovation bible, Part Two': how successful startups get ground down by corporate governance norms and best practices, why financial gravity affects even visionary founders, and Ries's blueprint for retaining integrity through long-term growth.

“Anybody who has found a way to make money without creating value is corrupting the moral logic of our economic system.” — Eric Ries on The Business Leader Podcast with Sir Richard Harpin

    “"Who would you rather die than betray?" Strong words from Eric Ries, author of The Lean Start Up, on our Business Leader podcast. I think this clip really conveys some of the moral urgency behind his new book, Incorruptible. Ries is angry at the way the financial system corrupts companies as they scale. A company's original moral purpose is stripped away in the name of shareholder primacy. And this isn't even in anyone's true long-term interest.”
