Podcasts about financial gravity

Pete Townsend is joined by Eric Ries, author of the New York Times bestseller The Lean Startup and founder of the Long-Term Stock Exchange, for a conversation about the invisible structural forces that corrupt even the most mission-driven companies, and what founders can do about it before it's too late.Eric's new book, Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad and How Great Companies Stay Great, is out now. Get it here: https://www.amazon.com/Incorruptible-Good-Companies-Great-Stay/dp/B0FWZZBPZBEric spent 15 years teaching a generation how to build fast and learn faster. Incorruptible asks the harder question: how do you protect what you built from the forces that will eventually try to take it from you?In this special double-length episode, he walks through the concept of financial gravity, the structural tools that the world's most durable companies have used for over a century, and why good intentions are never enough.Topics covered:– Why corporate corruption is a structural failure, not an ethical one– What financial gravity is and why it's invisible until it's too late– The Anthropic Long-Term Benefit Trust and what it was designed to protect against– How Novo Nordisk built a structure 100 years ago that protected $500 billion in shareholder value– Why Silicon Valley Bank's mission statement was worthless– The one two-page filing most founders never makeCHAPTERS00:00 The More Golden the Goose00:23 Welcome Eric Ries01:06 The Founder's Wake05:08 What Did The Lean Startup Miss?08:09 What is Financial Gravity?12:50 The Right Architecture13:11 Anthropic and the Long-Term Benefit Trust14:59 The Novo Nordisk Story18:18 Are You Smarter Than a Nobel Laureate?19:28 The Vatican Panel20:46 The Public Benefit Corporation22:41 Is LTSE Incorruptible?23:39 The Guardian of the Company's SoulConnect with Eric:X: https://x.com/ericriesLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eries/Incorruptible (book): https://incorruptible.coInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ericriesactual/Newsletter: https://news.theleanstartup.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theericriesshowPodcast: https://www.ericriesshow.co Buy on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Incorruptible-Good-Companies-Great-Stay/dp/B0FWZZBPZBConnect with Pete:X: @PeteTownsendNVLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/petetownsendnv/Norio Ventures: https://norioventures.comMoneyNeverSleeps: https://moneyneversleeps.ie#incorruptible #leanstartup #founders #startups

Why do companies with the best intentions end up betraying their customers, employees, and mission? Eric Ries calls it “financial gravity” — an invisible force that pulls even the most principled companies toward corruption, and understanding it is the first step to resisting it.In this episode, Eric Ries, entrepreneur and author of The Lean Startup and Incorruptible, shares why building a great company isn't just about having a strong vision — it's about building structures that protect that vision from external pressure. Eric revisits the core ideas behind the Lean Startup and MVP, explaining how the purpose of a minimum viable product is not to ship fast but to learn fast. He then introduces the central thesis of his new book: that the corruption we see in companies isn't caused by bad people, but by a financial system that pulls organizations away from their values. Drawing on stories of Sol Price, FedMart, Costco, HEB, Novo Nordisk, and Anthropic, he shows that incorruptible companies are built through a combination of ethos — a deep operational commitment to doing right — and structural governance that resists outside pressure. He also unpacks how false metrics like OKRs can hollow out a company's integrity over time, and how Mary Parker Follett's concept of the “invisible leader” helps culture survive beyond any single founder or CEO.Key topics discussed:What “financial gravity” is and why even good companies fall to itThe true purpose of an MVP (hint: it's not about shipping fast)Why OKRs become dangerous false proxies over timeBlueprint for building a truly incorruptible companyWhy Costco and Novo Nordisk resisted forces that killed FedMartMary Parker Follett's invisible leader explainedWhy Anthropic's structure gives it a lasting competitive edgeHow everyday decisions become acts of systemic changeTimestamps:(00:00) Trailer & Intro(02:31) What Two Mega-Trends Make Lean Startup More Relevant Than Ever?(04:03) What Is the True Purpose of a Minimum Viable Product?(11:04) Has AI Actually Made Building Software Cheaper and Better?(13:41) What Two Stories Inspired the Book Incorruptible?(20:38) What Is Financial Gravity and Why Does It Corrupt Even Good Companies?(26:29) What Is Surrogation and Why Do OKRs Become Dangerous False Proxies?(29:55) What Is the Blueprint for Building an Incorruptible Company?(33:53) What Is the Invisible Leader and How Does It Keep Company Culture Alive?(39:56) What Governance Structures Can Shield a Company's Mission from Financial Gravity?(48:27) Why Does Anthropic's Unique Structure Give It a Competitive Advantage in AI?(51:43) 3 Tech Lead Wisdom_____Eric Ries's BioOver the last two decades, Eric Ries's ideas about continuous innovation, long-term thinking, governance, and market reform have reshaped company building and management practices.

This week on the Do Good to Lead Well podcast, I sit down with bestselling author Eric Ries for a timely and thought-provoking conversation about leadership, mission, and the growing crisis of short-term thinking in business.Eric first transformed the entrepreneurial world with The Lean Startup. In his latest book, Incorruptible, he tackles a new challenge: why so many organizations lose sight of their purpose, compromise their values, and drift away from the very mission that made them successful in the first place.Together, we explore why many traditional business “best practices” are no longer serving leaders, employees, or society — and what it takes to build organizations that can withstand the pressures of short-term performance, protect trust, and stay anchored in their values over time.Through powerful stories, real-world examples, and surprising data, listeners learn how organizations can defend their mission, outlast competitors, and resist the economic “gravity” that pulls so many companies into compromise. From redefining profit as human flourishing to making trust and love into competitive advantages, the episode offers a blueprint for building companies that not only succeed financially, but endure.Whether you're a founder determined to preserve your mission, or an executive seeking to build a culture of integrity, this episode is packed with practical guidance and inspiration. Tune in to discover what it truly means to become an incorruptible force for the good of your business and the good of humanity.What You'll Learn- The perils of “best practices.”- Corruption isn't just a crime – It's losing your purpose.- How the moral logic of capitalism has been lost.- Redefining profit: Maximizing human flourishing.- Mission (not money) makes companies endure.- Trust and love are competitive advantages.- Governance isn't boring. It's your organization's DNA.- Does growth kill mission? The risk is real. The reality does not have to be.- You can build incorruptible companies: An evidence-based business case.Podcast Timestamps(00:00) - A Special Topic and Guest(01:49) - From the Lean Start-up to Incorruptible(04:07) - Defining and Diagnosing Corruption(08:32) - The Moral Logic of Capitalism and Value Creation(13:03) - Redefining Profit and Human Flourishing(19:15) - Mission Drift and Protecting Organizational Purpose(22:01) - Outliers: Exceptional Companies and New Best Practices(25:29) - Financial Gravity, Longevity, and Employee Ownership(30:00) - Trust as Organizational Currency(34:23) - The Long Term Stock Exchange and Long-Termism(35:20) - Love, People-First Leadership, and Real Competitive Advantage(41:23) - Governance, Board Dynamics, and Creating Incorruptible Organizations(44:46) - Lessons from Case Studies: Zita Cobb and Beyond(49:16) - Closing Reflections and Practical ResourcesKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Incorruptible, Integrity, Do Good to Lead Well, Long Term Thinking, Effective Governance, Market Reform, Lean Startup Method, Company Culture, Avoiding Short Term Thinking, Corruption, Capitalism, Value Creation, Shareholder Primacy, Business Ethics, Corporate Mission, Profit Redefinition, Human Flourishing, Stakeholder Alignment, Organizational Trust, Financial Gravity, Mission Controlled Companies, Organizational Character, CEO Success

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk Read my NEW BOOK -- The Price of Becoming -  www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming Eric Ries is the author of The Lean Startup, one of the most influential business books of the past 25 years, and the founder of the Long-Term Stock Exchange, the first new U.S. exchange to both list and trade multiple stocks since NASDAQ launched 50 years ago. His new book is Incorruptible. Key Learnings The more successful a company becomes, the more valuable it is as a target. Companies are worth stealing and taking over. Most founders are naive about this and don't understand what's coming for them. They've been following the so-called best practices about how companies should be built, structured, and governed. Most of those best practices are value-destroying. Sol Price was a lawyer before he became an entrepreneur. He believed a lawyer had a fiduciary duty to put the client's interests before his own. So when he became a retailer, he asked: "Who's my client?" The customer. He treated the customer as the person he would rather die than betray. When competitors sold a product for less, he'd put up signs in his own store: "Don't buy this from me. You can get it cheaper somewhere else." He capped his margins at 14 percent. He paid above-market wages. It is so much easier to destroy than to create. One day, Sol came into work and couldn't get into his office because the locks had been changed. Investors had pushed him out and forced Fedmart to practice retail best practices. Within seven years, they bankrupted the company. We've built an economy that rewards people for cost-cutting without holding them accountable for the consequences to trustworthiness, brand, or culture. The origin story of Costco: Sol took two weeks off, then leased the office upstairs from Fedmart and started Price Club. One of the young guys who left with him, Jim Sinegal, had worked his way up from stock boy. Jim eventually started his own company using the Sol ethos. A few years later, their companies merged to form what we now call Costco. Wall Street routinely calls Costco the exception to every rule. Wall Street analysts say things like: "At Costco, they take money that rightfully belongs to shareholders and instead invest it in the customer experience." As if that's a criticism. Costco endures because it's protected by a governance fortress. A series of worst practices that resist outside pressure structurally. The $1.50 hot dog has been the same price since 1986. A McDonald's Big Mac was $1.60 in 1986. Today that same Big Mac in California is over $7. Costco sells more hot dogs than every Major League Baseball stadium in America combined. If they raised the combo to $7, it would be a billion dollars of extra net income. They could do it. They choose not to. "If you raise the price of the effing hot dog, I will kill you. So figure it out." Jim Sinegal said it to his COO in 2008 when costs were rising. Figure it out. Costco vertically integrated the hot dog supply chain. They own hot dog production plants in multiple cities. They worked deals with soda vendors. They did all that extra work for the privilege of not making more money on the hot dog. Harder is easier. "When you take the hard road, when you make a principled commitment, you get these almost unbelievable values. Because you're generating the most underrated and most valuable asset in all of business: trustworthiness." "Easy choices, hard life. Hard choices, easy life." Jerzy Gregorek, Olympic weightlifter. "Everybody wanna be a bodybuilder. Nobody wanna lift these heavy ass weights." Ronnie Coleman, eight-time Mr. Olympia. Everyone wants the outcome. Nobody wants to do the actual thing. Culture and mission can be cultivated, not commanded. Most leaders get this wrong. They say "I'm in charge of my team." But can you command your team to have integrity? Can you command it to have a particular culture? You have to make consistent, responsible choices, just like cultivating health in your body. Get reps. Eric gave practice talks at a Hobee's restaurant at 7 AM to six people just to get the reps. Caring and trying to do a good job is so unbelievably rare. That alone is a competitive advantage. Feedback tells you something about the person giving it, not about yourself. If someone reads Eric's manuscript and says, "This book sucks," he hasn't learned anything about the book. He's learned this person doesn't like this kind of book. When he stopped arguing with negative customer reviews and started studying who they came from, he noticed patterns. People 16 and younger loved the product. People 16 and older hated it. He learned who his product was for. Separate qualitative from quantitative feedback. Qualitative is for hypothesis generation. Quantitative is for hypothesis validation. When test readers told him a chapter wasn't working, that was qualitative. When the platform data showed nobody was getting past that chapter, that was quantitative. You need both to know what to fix. It is always too early until it's too late. Eric tells the story of a multibillion-dollar founder he warned before his IPO. The founder talked to his bankers, lawyers, and CFO. They told him Eric was a downer. The founder went public anyway with conventional governance. Five months later, his stock dropped 90 percent, and he was ousted. The best time to plant a tree is 40 years ago. The second-best time is today. Eric's checklist for building an incorruptible company: Encode your mission into the corporate charter. Most founders have never read their charter. If your mission statement says one thing but your legal charter says another, you're lying. The easiest fix: file a public benefit corp filing (PBC). Two pages. 44 states. Your lawyer can do it tomorrow. Identify your fiduciary commitments. Who would you rather die than betray? Is it your customers? Your employees? Product quality? You decide. If your answer is nobody, you're a sociopath. The whole book is for the people who actually want to accomplish something. Align your employees to that mission. Make sure everybody on the team is committed to the same fiduciary priority. Create a director's oath. Like the Hippocratic Oath for doctors, but for your board. They must pledge to commit to the company's mission. Board betrayal and investor pressure are leading causes of death of companies in the modern world. Make the directors accountable to somebody. Power without accountability is corrosive to the human spirit. Novo Nordisk is governed by a nonprofit foundation. Patagonia is governed by a perpetual purpose trust. John Lewis Partnership in the UK is governed by an employee ownership trust. IKEA, Vanguard, and REI all have these structures. The data shows these companies are dramatically more stable and higher performing than conventional structures. You are not stuck in traffic. You are traffic. People love to blame the system. But you're not just a passenger. You're part of what creates the system. Where you work. What you buy. What you give your attention to. Every one of those choices is fueling somebody's company, somebody's algorithm, somebody's bonus. The richest people in the world spend billions on PR because they know your individual choices matter. Use that power. Eric's champagne moment a year from now: a grassroots movement around Incorruptible. This book won't get wall-to-wall media coverage. It's antagonistic to people in power. So Eric hopes readers will hand it to their founders, their bosses, their friends. If consumers and employees start demanding, "I want to work in an incorruptible company," that's the toast. Reflection Questions What is your equivalent of Costco's hot dog? The one commitment you'd defend even when it's financially painful, even when the easy move would be to abandon it? Have you ever read your corporate charter, or the foundational document of your team or department? Does what's actually written match what you say you stand for? Where in your work or life would the harder short-term path build something more durable in the long run? Are you willing to lift the heavy weights?

Ed Lyon is a tax attorney, the Chief Tax Strategist and Director at Financial Gravity, and the Chief Tax Planner at Excel Empire. Financial Gravity is a multifamily office integrating tax strategy, wealth management, and financial planning to help clients optimize and preserve wealth. At Excel Empire, Ed leads advanced tax planning and advisor strategies for business owners. With nearly three decades of experience simplifying complex strategies and uncovering overlooked opportunities, he primarily specializes in helping high-income earners legally reduce taxes through proactive planning. In this episode… Most business owners and high earners assume taxes are simply the cost of making more money. They rely on their CPA, file each year, and move on without questioning the outcome. The big question isn't how much you earn, but how much you unknowingly give away. Is the tax system far more flexible than it seems? Ed Lyon explains that the real problem isn't taxes themselves, but how people approach them. As a tax attorney with decades of experience, he highlights the gap between reactive tax preparation and proactive tax planning. Ed emphasizes that most professionals focus on reporting, not reducing, and that missed strategies often come down to a lack of awareness. From understanding audit realities to leveraging overlooked deductions and restructuring income, he outlines how individuals can take control, ask better questions, and align tax strategy with long-term wealth-building goals. In this episode of Owner's Profit Playbook, Pat Mancuso sits down with Ed Lyon, Chief Tax Strategist and Director at Financial Gravity and Chief Tax Planner at Excel Empire, to discuss how business owners and high earners are losing the tax game without realizing it. Ed breaks down proactive versus reactive tax strategies, common misconceptions about audits, and how to uncover missed opportunities. He also shares how mindset shifts and better questions can lead to meaningful tax savings.

We unpack OpenAI's "mile wide, inch deep" usage problem, why simply having a "better model" does not solve the core UX challenge, and whether the hyperscalers' massive CapEx spending is a sustainable strategy or a fast track to financial gravity.We also explore the reality behind the recent "SaaSpocalypse", the structural shift from traditional enterprise systems to "improvised" and "ephemeral" software, and where the actual white space lies for founders and investors navigating the artificial intelligence hype cycle.(00:00) Intro(01:06) OpenAI's Focus Shift (03:12) ChatGPT usage: a "mile wide, inch deep"(09:03) Why better models do not solve the real problem(13:58) Why AI product teams are strategy takers, not strategy setters(15:38) Do agents help create defensibility?(20:06) OpenClaw and the "Desktop Linux" moment for AI(25:52) Why "everyone will build their own software" is completely wrong(28:09) Improvised software vs. institutionalized software(29:23) The Jevons Paradox: Why there will be more software, not less(36:15) Are we heading toward value destruction before value creation?(38:03) Circular revenue, leverage, and AI bubble dynamics(38:53) Big Tech's Trillion-Dollar CapEx Crisis & Financial Gravity(45:23) Why AI job exposure charts can be misleading(52:15) How Fortune 500 Execs are actually deploying AI today(56:45) The White Space: What this means for founders and investors

Key Takeaways: You don't need to predict the future: Success in financial markets comes from adapting to changes and riding the waves they create. Focus on what really drives value: Productivity, scarcity, and volatility matter more than just charts or predictions. Policies aren't everything: Government rules and Fed decisions play a role, but the deeper market forces are more important to understand. See volatility as an advantage: Market ups and downs can make you stronger if you learn to benefit from them instead of fearing them. Follow financial gravity, not forecasts: New investors should base their strategies on core principles, not on trying to guess every market move.

Yet accountants are providing either of those services, they're number historians.” – John “CPAs don't have exclusive rights to the internal revenue code.

They've just executed on it.” – John “If you're the business… then you're NOT a business.” – John “Accountants have been regularly saying that a home business is a red flag. If there's 4 ways of doing something, is how could it be a red flag?” – John “Think of a chasm where the only way to cross is to pay the toll bridge. And that chasm has a bunch of toll bridges. One of them is capital gains… it's 15%. Every time you want money from the left side and move it to the right of the chasm, I have to pay a toll.” – John  “The entrepreneur is the economic engine of the country. The US is the biggest economic power because we attracted the original entrepreneur – the pilgrim.” – John “If you're making over 100,000 a year year, your likelihood of being audited as a sole proprietor is 5x higher than if you were to be an escort.” – John “LLC is legal structure and the way you file.

You make money as an employee of the business, and you make money as an owner of the business where you earn dividends.” – John “If you stop working, would you have to hire someone to do what you were doing? If the answer is yes, then you're an employee.” – John “Good tax planning should never violate good financial planning.” – John “There's 4 ways to never pay taxes: make no money, don't pay them, lose money every year, and give it all away.” – John “The likelihood of being audited is half of 1%.” – John Resources Tax Myths free book.

Topics discussed during this podcast include; Don't give CPA's implicit trust Tax codes are written to help small business owners How to find a great CPA that will help you lower your taxes And much more!

Here's what I got out of this interview with Financial Gravity's John Pollock... 1. Not all CPA's are CPA's Sadly, many CPA's are very proactive. They will play on the safe side and give you 'yes' and 'no' answers, but won't help you find solutions to help you save money. 2. Business Tax Codes Business tax codes are there to encourage and foster small business owners. Knowing this helps you to get the most of the deductions that are available to you. 3. Don't Take 'No' For An Answer If a CPA or financial planner says it can't be done, get a second or third opinion. There is always a way. Like this podcast?

As the CEO of Financial Gravity, Cash Flow Diary podcast guest John Pollock has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs find legal, moral and ethical ways to lower their tax, raise profit and create wealth. Why? Because that’s how they can finally start living their own version of the American Dream – a key reason Financial Gravity was started in the first place. Of course… and as you might guess… John wasn’t always the helpful CEO and tax expert he is today. But he did find his superpower early on… and then had to find the confidence to run with it! John started out as a sales person with a moral compass. He took the corporate path even without earning a college degree. That’s right!! No degree and yet he educated himself, calling himself a constant student. He’s also “unemployable,” which is something he learned after losing a few jobs in a row. So he decided to start his own business selling insurance… specifically annuities… but didn’t like it because he realized that once a customer bought his “product” they wouldn’t need anything new from him again for 20 years. One day, after sitting down to look at the checks he was earning and realizing he wasn’t earning much when he was taking a whole bunch of risk, he knew he’d have to change his path, which is something you’re going to want to do, too… by learning new things. He started his journey by seeking the door for the super wealthy, learning that there isn’t one. But there is a tax code… and it’s for everyone. (But a lot of the super-wealthy use to keep their money instead of giving it to the IRS.) If you want to learn how to use the tax code to your benefit, you need to listen to this episode of Cash Flow Diary!! John makes tax info pretty fun to hear. You’re gonna love what he has to say!!
