About the Book

You can currently only buy this through Amazon and their Kindle store.

Interviews include leading voices such as Jim Womack, John Shook, Eric Ries, Steve Spear, and more (see the table of contents below).

Each chapter contains a link to the original podcast page and a direct link to the MP3 file. Some devices may allow you to read and listen at the same time.

If you’re an early buyer, you’ll get updates to the book as I:

  • Edit the content a bit
  • Add new transcripts (over time)
  • Add commentary and reflections to the start of each transcript chapter

You can listen to the audio of each episode and learn more about subscribing at www.LeanCast.org or my blog at www.LeanBlog.org.

Thanks to Leanpub's variable pricing, you can pay what you like. I incurred costs to have the transcripts done and I spent time editing, as well (and also invested time preparing for the podcasts and producing them).

Pay what you like (value is determined by the customer), but I hope you'll do what you think is fair.

Make sure you scroll down to see the package of the book PLUS an easy download of the MP3 audio of the podcasts.

Thanks!

Mark Graban
