Description:

In this episode, I’m really excited to have as my guest, Peter Newell, who is a nationally recognized innovation expert whose work is transforming how the government and other large organizations compete and drive growth.

A retired Army Colonel, Pete is the CEO of BMNT, a Palo Alto-based innovation consultancy and early-stage technology incubator that helps solve some of the hardest real-world problems in national security, state and local governments, and beyond. Pete is also co-author, with Lean Startup founder Steve Blank, of Hacking for Defense (H4D)®, an academic program taught at 40+ universities that teaches students how to quickly solve critical national security problems while performing national service.

In our discussion, Pete talked to me about:

  • The idea of practicing risk-taking in a safe environment, to learn about the value of "failure"
  • Moving from a product-centric to a problem-centric mindset
  • The art of discovery - the best way to get over your fears and to test your ideas
