I feel better after this conversation.

Two final questions.

Where can folks find you online?

Where do they find this presentation?

And how can listeners be useful to you?

And by the way, the domain is ben-evans.com if folks want to check you out.

E-V-A-N-S dot com.

Benedict, thank you so much for being here.

Thanks a lot.

Bye, everyone.

This new book, Incorruptible, is about helping you protect what you've built.

What is it that you need protection from?

We all know this force.

Today, my guest is Eric Ries, author of the most influential and impactful book in startup history, The Lean Startup.

Today, he is back with a new book 15 years later called Incorruptible, Why Good Companies Go Bad and How Great Companies Stay Great.

The way Eric describes the connection between these two books is that The Lean Startup was about helping you build a successful company.

And this book is about helping you protect what you've built.

Eric wrote this book because he's seen way too many founders lose control of their company and end up being very disappointed and depressed about how things turned out.

This is not something that you hear a lot about, but it's a problem that basically every successful founder will face.

Eric shares a ton of powerful stories and specific tactics and very specific advice for what you need to understand and do as a founder if you want to build something lasting.
