"The Lean Startup" and "Incorruptible" author says trustworthiness is the most underrated asset in business and shares how marketing and comms leaders can make the case for it.
San Francisco, California, United States, November 9, 2026 -- Wunderdogs, a brand strategy, design and digital agency for B2B tech and venture capital, today released an exclusive video interview with Eric Ries, author of "The Lean Startup" and the new New York Times bestseller "Incorruptible." In the conversation with Wunderdogs co-founder Daria Gonzalez, Ries offers marketing and communications leaders a practical playbook for defending long-term brand investment under quarterly pressure.
"The most valuable and underrated asset in all of business right now is trustworthiness," Ries said in the interview. He argues that marketers who treat trust as an investment, rather than a line item to justify each quarter, earn the credibility to shape executive and board-level decisions.
The 38-minute conversation covers:
"I read 'The Lean Startup' at Stanford GSB 10 years ago, and building the website for 'Incorruptible' was a full-circle moment for our team," Gonzalez said. "Eric's message gives marketing leaders language for a fight they're having every quarter: how to build a brand that lasts when every KPI rewards the short term."
