Talking Through My Hat

Ryan Morison is a serial entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience across two continents developing and commercialising digital publishing solutions, from a digital reading ecosystem, through a multichannel content-management solution to an award-winning direct-sales platform. He's even run a successful crowdfunding campaign for a subscription-based website! Now, he runs publishing-technology company Erudition and direct-to-consumer music publisher Informance. In this week's episode, we talk about his journey from musician to publishing entrepreneur, the problems that a high-risk no-prisoners approach can cause, and his just-in-time approach to learning - seeking out what you need to know at the time, rather than spending valuable time on business books that aren't relevant. Two books he recommends in the episode are Winning without losing by by Martin Bjergegaard, Jordan Milne, and The origin of wealth by Eric Beinhocker.
