Bob Caspe helped me see an approach to business that was both exciting and sustainable. It’s been almost 20 years since we were together at Babson. Bob is retired, and I approached him about doing this as a legacy project. We recorded about ten hours of conversation, which I edited and organized into this course. I want this to be available to anybody that needs it
Bob teaches a way of thinking that is different. We talk about it within the lens of entrepreneurship, but it’s not just something for startups. Anybody in a business setting who wants to generate momentum and growth can use this
A quick disclaimer:
The first time I presented my business to Bob he made fun of it and it made me mad. My ancestors are Irish and so my face got red and I wanted to punch Bob. But then I took a deep breath and actually listened to what he was telling me. And that’s the moment my mind expanded. That’s when my life changed for the better
Some people won’t like Bob’s humor. If you’re feeling connected to your business model and don’t want somebody to make fun of it, then this isn’t the right time to take this course. But if you’re willing to separate your business model from your ego, and you’re open to considering a different approach to your work. Then maybe you’re in the right place. Maybe Bob will change your life the way he changed mine.
If you do decide to take this course, I hope you’ll participate in the discussion. Bob’s approach is very socratic and the bulk of the value is in our back and forth. You’ll have a chance to talk about your business on a discussion board and it live sessions with me and Bob.
Those are my tips and disclaimers for now - let’s get started.
