Here is part 2 of my conversation with Joe Greenstein, co-founder of Flixster, about his story of inner growth and business leadership. For part 1, click here.

In this conversation, Joe and I discuss:

  • The three most common thoughts in his mind that he’s learned to take less seriously
  • How he introduced everyone at Flixster to feedback conversations
  • How to use feedback to create a more enjoyable, effective, and real work environment
  • The big illusion in life that there is only one reality
  • InnerSpace, his new nonprofit venture serving start-up founders
  • What Joe is personally practicing today to grow as a person

I really enjoyed this conversation and hope you will, too!

Behind every technology story is a business story, and behind every business story is a tale of human beings.

Take, for example, Flixster, one of my favorite iPhone apps. I use it all the time to see what movies are playing in Portland and what the critics think about them. It’s a solid and user-friendly app. That’s one reason why it’s the most popular movie review and showtime app for the iPhone, iPad, and Android. (It owns Rotten Tomatoes).

But that’s not the only reason.

Flixster also has been a testing ground for creating feedback-rich cultures–places where people build constructive relationships and sustained results by talking candidly and respectfully about their experiences and emotions.

This is unusual!

Equally unusual are startup CEOs willing to talk openly about their own path of personal growth–not just what they’ve accomplished, but what makes them tick, how they’ve screwed up, and what they’ve learned about themselves as human beings.

That’s why I am delighted to share this interview with Joe Greenstein, co-founder of Flixster. It’s so rich I’ve divided it into two parts. Here is part 1.
