Eric Ries changed the way the world builds companies. His landmark book The Lean Startup became the playbook for a generation of entrepreneurs — but two decades in, his powerful new book Incorruptible.co asks a harder question: why do great companies eventually betray the very values that made them great?

That question is at the heart of Incorruptible — a blueprint for organizations that can grow, scale, and endure without losing their soul. The problem, he argues, isn't a failure of ethics. It's a failure of structure. This is a conversation about integrity, leadership, and what it means to build something you're genuinely proud of.

In this episode of The Icons, Tyler sits down with Eric to trace the journey from scrappy founder to one of the most influential voices in modern business, exploring the moments of doubt, the lessons learned, and what it really takes to build something that lasts.

William Shatner is a cultural icon whose career has spanned seven decades, but in this Icons interview with Tyler Waye, he steps away from the captain’s chair to explore the raw, unfiltered reality of being human.

At 95 years old, Shatner offers a profound meditation on mortality, famously noting that "we are nothing but ruins in the making." He opens up about the "Overview Effect" he experienced in space—a journey he expected to be a celebration, but which felt more like a funeral as he witnessed the fragile beauty of Earth against the cold, dead vacuum of the cosmos. In this deeply moving conversation, we discuss the weight of regret, the sting of loss, and his controversial views on legacy, where he argues that while names are forgotten, "good deeds reverberate to the end of time."
