Show notes

Something is happening in Cleveland, Ohio. A movement, unlike anything it's seen before, has taken over the city. Cleveland’s top business leaders, civic leaders, politicians and lawmakers, people running educational institutions have all dedicated to making Cleveland the Blockchain Capital of the world. And this initiative, as strange as it may sound, is led by none other than a local car salesman, Bernie Moreno. On season six of Rocketship.fm, we're taking you behind the scenes of a movement that's happening inside the civic buildings all over Cleveland, a movement to reposition this blue-collar city into a global technology center.

Season six is the story of Blockland.

Disruption vs Innovation Feb 15, 2019

Show notes

It seems like all we hear about today is disruption, disruption, disruption. Everybody is disrupting something -- from Transportation to Hospitality -- all anyone wants to do is blow everything up.

So what is the difference between Disruption and Innovation? Well, Disruptors are innovators, but not all innovators are disruptors.

Disruption and Innovation are often different sides of the same coin. Today we explore how companies are approaching innovation and disruption in the Healthcare industry. We talk with Joshua Landry of Figure1 and Sasha Bhatia, the Director of Women’s College Hospital Institute for Health System Solutions and Virtual Care in Toronto.

Why do you love the products you love? Feb 07, 2019

Show notes

Love isn’t rational. It doesn’t always make sense. But when love is in the air, nothing can come between you and a public tweet.

Today we talk to people who’ve professed their love, publicly, for products they love. We discuss why they love the products they love, and what about these companies and brands gets them so excited.

We dove into tech brands like Slack and Intercom as well as roll-on deodorant brand Phresh and personal fashion brand Stitch Fix.

A Job To Be Done: Building Products People Want Jan 17, 2019

Show notes

Jobs to be done will change the way you think about a product. It will change the way you approach user personas and influence your product decision process. It is one of the most important developments in product thinking in our time, so today we're going to dive right in.

In this episode we talk with Jeetu Patel of Box, Bob Moesta co-creator of the Jobs to be done framework, Benedikt Lehnert of Wunderlist (now Microsoft) and Eric White.

The theory of jobs to be done was developed in part as a complement to the theory of disruptive innovation. But disruption theory doesn’t tell you how to create products and services that customers want to buy. Jobs to be done theory does. It transforms our understanding of customer choice in a way that no amount of data ever could because it gets at the causal driver behind a purchase.
