E24 • Aug 5, 2020 • 21 mins

Speed is often the secret weapon, especially when adjusting to and tackling a crisis.

Credited with launching the Lean Startup movement, eight-time entrepreneur-turned-educator Steve Blank joins NFX partner James Currier and shares counterintuitive advice for how startups should be thinking right now. Steve says "don't waste a good crisis" and discusses how to find opportunity in disruption.

Listen to how Steve breaks down how Founders can navigate an extended crisis and why now is the time to innovate.
