To me, it just seemed like things really were different this time around, and there was no way to

be neutral, and being neutral actually was the same as taking a side.

I'm Jason Kander, and this is Majority 54. We're interviewing the people that are making change

happen in America, and we're talking to them about how we can all use our platforms, whether they're

big or small. And today we're going to talk to one of the biggest names in the tech entrepreneur

world. Now, he had not been an activist previously, but the night of the 2016 election,

like a lot of people he watched in horror. But unlike a lot of people, he said about creating a

tool for making sure that this kind of thing never happens again. Now, before we get to that,

I hope you'll consider either subscribing, or if you're subscribed, making sure that all your

friends get subscribed, because I don't want you or any of your friends to miss a single episode

this season, because we got really good stuff coming. So hit that subscribe button, because I'm

not sure if you're aware of this yet, but our show is quite good. Like, it's really, really good.

I've heard this on good authority from many people, including my wife, who, as you know, is very smart.

Now, back to our guest, Eric Reese. Eric, he comes from the tech world. And his first book,

The Lean Startup, it was published in 2011, seven years ago, and it's still a bestseller.

As somebody who has their own book coming out in a few weeks, I'm pretty impressed by that.

Eric has helped a lot of startups and large organizations find faster and less risky ways to innovate.

And inadvertently, recently, he's become really influential in the resistance against Donald

Trump's policies. In fact, even though you may not have heard of Eric before I mentioned his

name just now, many of you probably have used a tool that he invented. Now, in addition to all of that,

his most recent venture is to create a brand new stock exchange to address the many problems

that exist in today's financial system. You are going to love this conversation with Eric Reese.
