This week's Misfit Entrepreneur is Derek Lidow. Derek has had a unique entrepreneurial journey in that he was CEO of a large publicly traded semiconductor company, a founder and CEO of an innovative and valuable startup, and now as a teacher and scholar of entrepreneurship and innovation. Derek is a professor of the practice at the Keller Center for Innovation in Engineering Education at Princeton University. He's literally lived 3 very different entrepreneurial lives. On top of all that he is the author multiple best-sellers including Startup Leadership: How Savvy Entrepreneurs Turn Their Ideas Into Successful Enterprises, Building on Bedrock: What Sam Walton, Walt Disney, and Other Great Self-Made Entrepreneurs Can Teach Us About Building Valuable Companies, and THE ENTREPRENEURS: The Relentless Quest for Value. Derek is one of those guys, I could talk about every side of entrepreneurship with and we do just that. www.DerekLidow.com Derek thought he was going to be a scientist. During graduate school he found that it wasn't for him. He finished his PhD, but then shocked everyone and went into the business world. He found success as a semi-conductor executive during the golden age of the industry. He contributed a lot to the industry and ultimately proved how to create great solutions saving the world billions in gigawatts in the power space. He was ultimately made CEO of a large global company and led it to be the leader in it's vertical. After 5 years, he got the itch to start his own company. He retired from the corporate world and started a company from scratch. He built a data aggregation and visualization solution for the supply chain and with his previous experience was able to create a massive enterprise. The company kept finding success until a another company came along and had to buy them paying top dollar. Two weeks later he later he was recruited by Princeton to help create their entrepreneurial curriculum and teach. For the last 10 years he has taught and immersed himself into studying entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is more of innate state for human beings, but so many stray from embracing it – why do you think that is? Derek has studied the origins of entrepreneurship and how it started and took hold. He realized he was under-appreciating the value of entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs are responsible for virtually everything. We should understand better what they do and how they do that. At the 14 min mark, Derek and I have a good discussion of whether everyone is meant to be an entrepreneur or not. Entrepreneurs are self-directed. They decide which rules to follow and which to not follow. Entrepreneurs typically have a skill that those around them covet and want them for. Entrepreneurs entice others to give them something in return for their skill. They are not afraid to ask for a sale. We further discuss how everyone is selling something, but don't see it like selling unless it is in a business context. But, everyone is in sales of some kind. We also discuss the real challenge for people tapping into the entrepreneurial gene is the willingness to take risk. You've said that we are focused on the wrong aspect of helping and regulating entrepreneurs. What does that mean? It is impossible for Govts to create effective regulations that allow entrepreneurs to innovate and create without causing entrepreneurs to go outside the rules and cause problems. Regulations have not been very effective as a whole as entrepreneurs find ways to maneuver around them if they are harmful. Entrepreneurs themselves are far more effective at regulating other entrepreneurs. At the 24 min mark, we talk about the FTX scandal and how entrepreneurs would be better to manage it than Govt. Derek uses an example of Vanderbilt to illustrate how entrepreneurs are better at keeping things in check with each other. From your study or entrepreneurs and the history of entrepreneurship, what are some of the lessons you've taken that people should know and understand? Great entrepreneurs are great at enticing people to want things that we may not really need. People need to get educated from a consumer standpoint on how they are persuaded. This will help entrepreneurs better create products and services that are more valuable. What is your most important message from your latest book, the Relentless Quest for Value? Pay more attention to entrepreneurs and respect them but help them by giving them better feedback to create more effective solutions. Support smaller businesses and their entrepreneur journey. Understand that entrepreneurs are best equipped to solve the world's biggest challenges. You dedicated the book to Arel and Tiel. Who are they? Derek's sons that are both entrepreneurs. One son is in Silicon Valley, the other growing slow and steady in his business. They are modeling creating great businesses with integrity. ​ 2-3 of the best lessons you personally learned on your own entrepreneur journey? Know yourself so you can understand what you are capable of and where to ask for help. You must put yourself in the shoes of your customers and dedicate yourself to their happiness. Be selfishly selfless. It is ok, to be selfish to be selfless with those around you.   Best Quote: Know yourself so you can understand what you are capable of and where to ask for help.   Derek's Misfit 3: Feel good about asking for help. Empathize with others. It is ok to be selfish to be selfless in helping others around you.

Matt Crawford speaks with author Derek Lidow about his book, The Entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs are among the primary shapers of our culture, yet their role in our progress and the way in which they influence society is often overlooked. Lidow tracks back through history to show us just how far reaching their influence has been and how it continues to shape us. This book is a great combination of history, applicable knowledge, inspiration and cultural treatise. 

Entrepreneurship has a longer history than you may think. Derek Lidow, a Princeton University professor, has found evidence of entrepreneurship from 9,000 years ago – a mini workshop used by hunter-gatherers to produce beads and pendants for trade. In 4000 BC, there was a Silicon Valley-like village that produced copper tools.  This week, he discusses the fascinating history of entrepreneurship, as well as how entrepreneurs work collectively in swarms, simplifying control, building bedrock companies, and taking responsibility for the negative consequences of innovation.

Entrepreneurship didn't begin with Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, Thomas Edison, or Adam Smith. Depending on how one interprets the archeological record, it goes back at least 9,000 years, when Neolithic tribes set up bead-making factories to transform worthless stones into jewelry, trading them for raw materials.This culture of business spread and grew more sophisticated. Four thousand years ago the first LLCs appeared in Mesopotamia. Entrepreneurs became a respected and important part of life, and a dynamic entrepreneurial culture that worked like Silicon Valley does today. To discuss this 10,000-year story of business is today's guest, Derek Lidow, author of “The Entrepreneurs: The Relentless Quest for Value.” We delve into the deep history of innovation to deliver essential new insights into how entrepreneurs have created value throughout history and continue to bring about change. We explore how the archeological record proves entrepreneurship eventually develops in all urban cultures, how some groups of entrepreneurs have been hidden from history (women, slaves, ethnic and religious minorities, the underclass, and immigrants), and how monopolists like J.P. Morgan or Mark Zuckerberg threaten this entrepreneurial spirit, and what can be done about it.

Derek Lidow holds a PhD in applied physics, has been the CEO of a large public semiconductor company, and has started a business that he sold for $100 million. He is a professor of entrepreneurship at Princeton University and has written three books on the topic. In this episode, we discuss his latest title, The Entrepreneurs. We also ponder big questions, such as whether or not you should drop out of school to start a company. We welcome all suggestions of interesting authors, books, investors, and voracious readers.
