Recommended Resources

Here are some of my top recommended resources for entrepreneurs and leaders in startups

  • The Lean Startup

    My #1 most-recommended book for entrepreneurs and leaders in startups. This book catalogs the major mistake most startups make, and some antidotes

  • The Mom Test

    How to talk to customers & learn if your business is a good idea when everyone is lying to you

  • Playing to Win: How Strategy Really Works

    Good strategy is not just “what” you are trying to do. It is also “why” and “how” you are doing it.

  • The Cold Start Problem

    The Cold Start Problem reveals what makes winning networks thrive, why some start-ups fail to successfully scale, and, most crucially, why products that create and compete using the network effect are vitally important today.

  • Creativity, Inc.

    A book that I find to be extremely inspirational and Ed Catmull models the kind of leader I think we’d all want to work for. I recommend this to all leaders who I cross paths with.
