How staying lean helped us get BIGMichael Perry

Hi, I’m Michael Perry.

2010 2016

We died a slow death.(thank god)

We solved the wrong problem.

Lean made us innovate.

How we continue to go big:

Failure is a fantastic filter, be thankful for it.

You will quit if your heart isn’t in it for the right reason.

You have to live with the results. Don’t let someone else decide the

outcome of your life.
