Whatโs the best kind of learning? If your answer was The kind thatโs fun, then you'll want to join Doug and Glenn as they talk about notable, and since they're movies and streamers, somewhat fun shows that have taken on the Startup genre, putting entrepreneurs in the hero seat. Movies like Tesla โ no, not about the car, about the man - the inventor of A/C current. The Founder featuring the character of Roy Kroc. The Social Network. The Steve Jobs movie. Startup, the streaming series with Martin Freeman. The 2022 biopic, Elvis and even Michael J. Foxโs The Secret of My Success.
Some of the lessons / fun(!) from these movies: ย
It's not enough to have the idea, you have to rally people to your cause and execute. (Tesla)
Itโs important to know which business youโre in. (McDonalds)
Make sure you know with whom youโre getting into bed with before you do so. (Startup) ย
Trust but verify. (Elvis)
You have to collaborate โ fill in the skill gaps โ to succeed. (Tesla, again)
