Summary

Today we’re going to talk about keeping your company agile and the value of learning, iterating, and optimizing your business. Too many times companies spend vast amounts of time and effort creating something that is either not exactly what the market wants, or is not a feasible product or service for the company to offer as it grows over the long term. Instead, an agile approach of creating and learning while being continually open to change and improvement can yield the best results. Today we’re going to hear from someone who did just that and has built a highly competitive product while inventing new solutions to challenges along the way. To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome David Wachs, CEO of Handwrytten, a handwriting service for brands.
