In this episode, Eric takes us into the conversations where he realised that profit is oxygen, not the purpose. It is essential to survive, but it is never the reason a company should exist. We dive into the high-stakes internal standard of integrity, epitomised by Steve Jobs' famous obsession with the invisible wiring inside a computer, and why true corporate character is defined by what you do when no one is watching. Eric explains why companies willing to "die for their principles" are paradoxically the ones that survive, building an unbreakable bond with their audience. This episode analyses why trustworthiness is the most underrated, unprotected asset in modern business, and exposes the critical flaw behind most corporate mission statements. This is your front-row seat to the hard choices and structural decisions required to build a company designed for the long term. "Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad and How Great Companies Stay Great" by Eric Ries will be published on 28 May (Penguin Life, £17.99).: https://amzn.eu/d/0hy5dRwu JOIN OUR COMMUNITY 👔 LinkedIn 👉 https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/the... 📸 Instagram 👉   / room.where.it.happened   🗞️ Newsletter 👉   / the-room-where-it-happened-731532693792348...   PARTNERS IFS - award-winning Asset & Service Management software 👉 Reimagine your operations at: https://highpfrmc.com/ifs-au XTB 👉 To find out more and make your money work, use code RWIH at: https://highpfrmc.com/xtb-rwih-au Step inside the moments that shaped the world’s biggest brands in The Room Where It Happened, a brand-new podcast hosted by Jake Humphrey.
