Kicking off this series with an interview with Ram Iyer from The Business Thinking Institute in Princeton, NJ. Ram shares with me his background in engineering and robotics, getting two Master's degrees and starting 4 companies. We touch on goal setting and what he calls the "silent killers" of success. He shares with me his philosophy about business for which he has developed the acronym CLIMB.

At about 30 minutes in, we get to his current project, The Business Thinking Institute and talk about how not just business owners, but anyone engaged in business can alter their thinking to bring value and perhaps profitability. 

We also discuss the definition of success and how that relates to our work and thinking.

As my first formal interview, I apologize for my lack of skills, both as an interviewer as well as a producer. I expect that I will be improving with each subsequent interview.
