A book that wasn’t mentioned in this episode but, one that I have found to be immensely useful is “The Lean Startup: How Today's Entrepreneurs Use Continuous Innovation to Create Radically Successful Businesses” by Eric Ries. If you want to start your own business or work specifically in a start-up environment, I recommend reading this first!
