I had the pleasure of meeting Uri Levine at SXSW. He is an entrepreneur, investor, and innovator who has created many successful companies. Most notably, he co-founded Waze - a GPS navigation software app that was acquired by Google for $1.1 billion in 2013. I first had the pleasure of experiencing his mentoring leadership through the PowerMBA / Power Business School Program.
He also recently published a new book titled “Fall In Love With the Problem, Not the Solution,” which explores how entrepreneurs can work towards solving the problems that they are passionate about. In his presentation at SXSW, he shared some of his insights on successful problem-solving. He also conveyed that before trying to solve a problem, it's essential to understand and care about the people who are affected by it.
Uri conveyed that to be a successful entrepreneur; you need to have an entrepreneurial spirit and be willing to keep working on your ideas even when you run into problems. It was incredibly inspiring to meet Uri in person at SXSW. His enthusiasm for problem-solving is infectious, and his advice is invaluable. Below, I have included the links to his main website, new book, and the PowerMBA / Power Business School Program.
