# Meet the Startup (Lean Edition): Eric Ries talks Lean Startups

Every once in a while, Meet the Startup likes to step outside the realm of Portland startups. To get some insights and feedback from other people in the startup scene.

This is one of those weeks. We’re joined by [Eric Ries](https://twitter.com/#!/ericries "Eric Ries") of [The Lean Startup](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307887898/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=return02-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0307887898) fame. (Oddly enough, this lean episode is twice as long as usual episodes. But we thought Eric and the concepts of Lean Startups were worth it.)

For more from Eric, visit [Startup Lessons Learned](http://www.startuplessonslearned.com/ "Startup Lessons Learned") or follow @ericries or @leanstartup on Twitter. And, of course, you should be [reading the book](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0307887898/ref=as_li_tf_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=return02-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0307887898).
