Navigating the Founder Career Path - with Mark Herschberg

Mark Herschberg - has worn many hats in his career including Founder, Chief Technology officer, Author, and Instructor at MIT.

A lot of episodes have focused on the startup, today we went deep on the path and growth of the founder behind the startup.

We talked about:

-        How the startup world presents challenges differently than how you were trained in the past

-       A great method for modeling a problem so you can then figure out how to solve it

-       The open ended nature of startups – and of the career of a founder, and how to navigate through this

-       The magic of patterns – and how to get better at spotting them

-       How to intentionally build your skills as you navigate the founder career path

-       And quite a few surprises in terms of which companies win – and which ones get defeated
