Invention is Reinvention with entrepreneur Eric Ryan | A Bit of Optimism Podcast

Starting a company from scratch isn’t easy. Doing it multiple times seems downright impossible.

Eric Ryan is one of those serial entrepreneurs. Most known as the co-founder of Method soaps, he’s also the founder of Olly vitamins, Welly first aid kits, Cast jewelry, and he has more ventures planned.

I sat down with Eric to ask him about his creative process. What follows is a conversation about serial creativity and why reinvention is the key to repeating creative success.

This…is A Bit of Optimism.
