It's the sixth show from our LAUNCH Incubator series! Over 12 weeks, 7 companies are learning how to make game-changing startups under the guidance of the best in the business. On deck today is Josh Williams, former CEO/Cofounder of Gowalla & product guru at Facebook and current CEO/Cofounder of @lastguide. Josh walks the class through the two most important jobs you'll have as a founder: building bridges to create new relationships and influence others, and tearing down the walls that are barriers to communication and progress. It's a riveting, practical how-to for developing your product, including rock solid advice on messaging, feature development, doing one thing really well, staying loyal to your fan base, what's okay to outsource and what you better own yourself, and a lot more.
