#50 Bo Burlingham: Small Giants & the roots of great businesses

Best known for his books Small Giants and The Great Game of Business, Bo Burlingham is an editor-at-large of Inc. magazine and the author of five books which have profoundly impacted values-led business creation. I don't know of anyone that has explored more deeply, through real-world examples, what it means to build a meaningful business.
