E11: Breaking the Rules

Entrepreneurship has become such a loaded word. With it comes assumptions around success, cash, ideas vs problems, customers, and what it really takes to run a business. This week we are joined by John Mullins, Ph.D. a professor of entrepreneurship at the London Business School. Author of 4 books and a series of articles that have appeared in publications like Harvard Business Review, the MIT Sloan Management Review, and The Wall Street Journal, John shares his insights and learnings on what it takes to make it in the business. From taking his own company IPO to teaching, he is known for challenging the principles of running a business and has developed a series of counter conventional frameworks that he will share along with insights from case studies from business like Dell, Apple, LinkedIn and Costco and their founders. The discussion includes questions like What investors look for in a CEO before investing? When should an entrepreneur look to raise capital from a VC? Why do most entrepreneurs fail?We hope you will find something to consider.
