I love hearing how an idea goes from a glimmer in someone’s eye to actual reality and David covers this with a unique lens: most ideas fail. So how do you know if yours will win? These testing stories illuminate those early signals that show you the path to success. Super fun show and also practical for founders and innovative teams who want to go bigger and succeed faster.
