Mark Twain quit his job to start a business with childhood friends. They created a trading platform called the pit that let you trade stock linked to baseball players. It was nine months before the crashd to two thousand, and so it was very difficult to raise money after that. But mark clearly showed what i like to call ontrpenural carisma. He had the mine set and the ability that made it almost irresistible for others to join him in his leaps.
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.
