Incorruptible with Eric Ries What if the companies that last the longest are the ones building enough trust that people want to keep participating in them? That’s the idea behind this conversation with Eric Ries - entrepreneur, author of The Lean Startup , and now Incorruptible . Through stories such as Volvo giving away the seatbelt patent, Tony’s Chocolonely opening its ethical supply chain to competitors, and Mary Parker Follett’s idea of the “invisible leader,” we explore how organizations create lasting advantage through trust, shared purpose, and systems that hold together as companies scale. We also unpack why so many businesses drift toward short-term extraction, what leaders misunderstand about organizational health, and why AI is exposing deeper weaknesses in how companies operate. If you’re building a company and questioning whether business-as-usual is still the right operating system, this conversation is for you. Key Takeaways Ethical business can outperform extractive business models: Eric argues that mission-driven companies are not sacrificing performance. In many cases, trust, alignment, and long-term thinking create stronger economic outcomes.
