Listen to this episode with one of these apps:

Not everything needs to be big to be big. ILT Academy Founder, Nick Tietz, is proving that with the impact his startup program is having on underserved markets.


Nick joins the show to chat about building up communities of underestimated entrepreneurs, embracing failure as a way to learn, and getting deliverables to customers early and often at the lowest fidelity possible.


In this episode, you will learn:



  • How not every idea needs to become a billion dollar company to have a major impact

  • Why we don’t need to tear stuff down to build new stuff

  • The impact of training underestimated entrepreneurs in underserved markets

  • Why entrepreneurs should design themselves out of their business

  • How failing fast and safely can lead to innovation

  • How to approach building technology around startups

  • How to identify the results needed to achieve a desired outcome


This episode is brought to you by The Jed Mahonis Group, where we make sense of mobile app development with our non-technical approach to building custom mobile software solutions. Learn more at https://jmg.mn.
