“Agile…lean startup…fail early…fail fast…fail cheap…”. These terms are tossed around but what the heck do they mean?
More specifically…what do they mean when you’re building a product and running a business?

If you’re about to build a product and wonder where to begin, you should listen to this episode. If you want to hire the best talent for your technical team, you should listen to this episode. If you want to become a more successful manager in general, you should listen to this episode. Learn from the experts who do it every. single. day. I’m speaking with Tami Reiss, CEO of Cyrus Innovations, who created the #JustNotSorry Gmail plug-in that’s been making waves. Also on the panel are Nikki Kuritsky, formerly head of product for Christie’s, now VP of Product at Shutterstock, and Allessandra McGinnis a product manager at Autodesk.
