Being an entrepreneur is often glorified. We have all heard the stories of the visionary entrepreneurs fighting to change the world. Think Steve Jobs, Elon Musk... you get the idea. But these narratives are often constructed in hindsight and fail to communicate the real challenges one has to face. The role of any entrepreneur, or any startup, is to learn... learn as quickly as possible before you go out of business.
Justin is the founder and director of Unearthed, an organisation that is trying to grow the entrepreneurial spirit, community and ecosystem in mining. We talk to him about the lessons he learned as an entrepreneur, what role startups can play in bringing about digital change, and how companies could take advantage of crowdsourcing and open innovation if they experimented with new corporate structures and business models.
