Culturelab With Aga Bajer

What does a successful startup founder look like?  You probably have a vivid picture in your head – two supercharged recent college graduates bursting out of the gate with a fresh new idea that hits them like a lightning bolt, gets massive funding, and leads to a product launch that is an astounding success.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  My guest today is Ethan Mollick, an award-winning researcher at Wharton and the author of a new book, THE UNICORN’S SHADOW: Combating the Dangerous Myths that Hold Back Startups, Founders, and Investors.  His mission is to democratize entrepreneurship.  In this wide-ranging conversation, we talk about what's a myth and what is true in the world of startups.
