Rob Fitzpatrick: Shaping an Entrepreneurial Career (#57)

Rob Fitzpatrick

My guest in this conversation is Rob Fitzpatrick. Rob is the author of several wonderful books, all designed to help you navigate the messy waters of bringing your ideas into the world.

He’s best known for his 2013 book, The Mom Test, which is now my go-to book on how to approach talking to people to see if your idea is actually worth building. He is currently focused on supporting indie non-fiction authors with software and a thriving authors community.

In this conversation, we talk about the realities of how to test your ideas, how to discern if an idea is a good fit for you (and not just for the market), and how to discern what’s most important to you and not just what idea you choose, but how you choose to build it.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. Please enjoy learning with Rob Fitzpatrick.

Enjoy!
