In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king
The One-Eyed Man is a podcast about navigating complexity with curiosity.
It’s a noisy, messy world out there. The challenges we face - whether in business, leadership, or life - are seldom simple. But instead of pretending to have all the answers, I prefer to have conversations with people who ask better questions.
From entrepreneurs and innovators to impact-driven leaders and technologists, these conversations explore what it really takes to lead thoughtfully, adapt strategically, and create meaning in an age of uncertainty.
I’m Mike Stopforth, and I believe leadership isn’t about perfection - it’s about clarity, courage, and conversation. Let’s figure it out, together.

#069 Twelve principles of start-up growth and momentum — Professor Greg Fisher
My guest on this week’s show is Prof Greg Fisher. Greg is the Larry and Barbara Sharpf Professor of Entrepreneurship at the Kelley School of Business at Indiana University. He is also a visiting lecturer at the Gordon Institute of Business Science in South Africa and, more recently, the author of a fantastic book titled The Principles of Entrepreneurial Progress.
The book catalogues twelve principles that help create and sustain momentum when launching a start-up, gathered from Greg’s experience teaching and coaching entrepreneurs for two decades.
In this episode, we talk about how the idea for the book came about, some of the processes of putting the publication together, and dive into some of the more pertinent principles for entrepreneurs in the South African context.
