Venture Forward

Lessons from Leaders

By: Jason Kraus

Narrated by: Mike Vallas

Let’s face it: Every entrepreneur isn’t the next Mark Zuckerberg, and every new business isn’t Uber. But that doesn’t mean that they can’t be. Venture Forward is a collection of real-world stories from innovative founders of successful businesses gathered in one place. It shows new entrepreneurs that they’re not alone in their endeavors, and they’re not destined to fail (at least, not forever).

More so, the book uses examples from under-represented sectors of the business world, including female entrepreneurs and those not engulfed in the Silicon Valley scene to show that anyone, from any walk of life, can be a successful business founder.

This isn’t the next “how to succeed in business” book. Instead, author Jason Kraus looks to instill hope and passion in gun-shy entrepreneurs, with a goal to help them further the business world with their innovative ideas. If you’ve hit a roadblock on the journey and are looking for some guidance, Venture Forward speaks directly to you.

I definitely like how he took examples from real world situations and explained why failure isn't as big of a problem as people view it to be. I also like that he used his own personal experience when explaining everything along with real world examples from famous companies. The author does a really good job of laying out the argument as to wine failures should be learned from and that it doesn't matter whose failure you're learning from, so long as you're learning from it.
