This is the Read to Lead podcast, episode 435.

Scarce resources, why is that a benefit?

I like to say that scarce resources can provide discipline to enable you to fail fast and fail cheap, which is one of the

methods that we talk about in entrepreneurship, because you can't afford to take a long time

and spend a lot of money. You just don't have time or money. And that enables you, it forces

you to iterate quickly to try things on a small scale. Entrepreneurship is not a spirit or a gift.

It's a process that anyone can learn and that anyone can use to turn a problem into a

solution with impact.

Hi, my name is Jeff Brown, and you found the Read to Lead podcast, the podcast that is

dedicated to your personal and professional growth where where each and every week, I interview

another successful and inspiring author, and we dig into his or her latest book and their

unique insights on a number of different topics. And our topic today is indeed entrepreneurship,

as I sit down with author and professor at Brown University, Danny Warshay. He's written a book

called C-solve scale, how anyone can turn an

unsolved problem into a breakthrough success. I'm going to ask Danny to share about how a lack of

resources can actually be a good thing for an entrepreneur, especially in the early stages,

how he can help you avoid the all-too-common and expensive mistake of developing a solution in search of a problem.

I'll ask him about how learning the skill of persuasive communication is impacted not only his

journey, but that of his students and plenty more. You might have heard me talk about my note-making

mastery cohort. We're in the midst of cohort number two right now during the month of August.

Cohort three will be coming in the not too distant future. And if that's something you'd

like to be notified about when cohort three happens, you can go to read to leadpodcast.com
