Those that work in Silicon Valley know that there are some books that everyone is all but required to read: The Lean Startup, The Innovators Dilemma & The 4-hour Work Week are a few. The books change with the seasons, yet somehow CEOs chug through 60 books a year, while you're just trying to get your product shipped on time. That's where we come in! Chuck and Gunnar work in the tech world but in different areas (Engineering vs Product). We read each book & bring our own views/background to the conversation. Joining us each episode is a subject matter expert on each topic we cover.

PART1: The Hard Thing About Hard Things by Ben Horowitz (with guest Kevin Goodman)

In episode 6 of Books We Pretend to Read Podcast our hosts bring in industry veteran: Kevin Goodman. Kevin is a founder of multiple companies that went on to be acquired. RTO Software, acquired by VMware, and most recently FXLogix acquired by Microsoft. In this episode, we discuss "The Hard Thing About Hard Things" by Ben Horowitz which is a book written by a CEO written to CEOs. As much as Chuck and Gunnar like to chat about startups, it's hard to talk about a CEOs perspective without actually being a CEO, which is where Kevin brings in his expertise. Join us as we deep dive into one of the most popular books in the valley and learn that sometimes there are no easy answers, just hard work.
