What a pleasure to be on Eric's podcast! Add his podcast to your rotation, it's a good one. Plus Eric's one of the few people out there truly thinking long-term about ways to make the world better and I'm guessing he's got quite a line-up of future guests (I'm like the warmUP act!). Cheers!
Episode 2 of The Eric Ries Show drops today! My guest is James Reinhart, founder of the second-hand resale platform ThredUp. James started out as a teacher, an experience that made him sure he wanted to make a positive impact on the world just as much as he wanted to build a successful business. ThredUp checks both boxes. It's changing the way people think about filling (and emptying) their closets -- its mission is "to inspire the world to think secondhand first" -- and it also generated $80 million in revenue in the first quarter of this year. In our conversation, we covered this duality from a number of perspectives, including the company culture that makes it possible, the importance of choosing the right investors, why an ambitious mission brings many advantages, what it was like to go public, and why more people should be thinking about purpose and profit as complementary rather than at odds with each other. As James put it, "intrinsically good businesses are good for bottom lines and good for the world."
