Episode notes

i spoke with dru housten of dropbox for a episode entitled how to take on goliath and win. Drew saw his key advantage was having a more nimble team that was focused on one core product. When mark lorry found amazon hot on his heels, he didn't try to fend it off with his play book in mid fall. Rather than try to fight amazon off in mid fall, he embraced them on the way down.

Marc Lore is all too familiar with leaping into the unknown. He’s made leaps of faith as the founder of Diapers.com, Jet.com, the CEO of Walmart U.S. e-commerce, and now, as a part owner of NBA/WNBA teams, along with Telosa, a city that he’s announced he’s building from scratch. One thing he’s learned from all of these audacious endeavors: you can’t leap alone. You need to convince your team, and more importantly, your customers to leap with you. As you’ll hear in this episode, Lore’s many leaps have evolved the way he assesses the risk involved. And each time, he's refined his method for bringing others – including customers, investors, co-founders and suppliers – along with him.
