NEW YORK, Aug. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM today
announced the launch of "Entrepreneurs are Everywhere," an all-new
show hosted by Steve Blank,
entrepreneur-turned-educator and creator of the Lean Startup
movement. The show will premiere on Thursday, August 27, 2015, at 4:00 pm ET on SiriusXM's Business Radio Powered
by the Wharton School channel 111.
SiriusXM's "Entrepreneurs are Everywhere" will feature founders
of companies from across the United
States sharing their experience of what it takes to build a
startup - from restaurants, to rocket scientists, to
on-line groceries, to on-line gifts and more. The SiriusXM
show will examine the DNA of entrepreneurs – what makes them tick,
how they came up with their ideas –
and, explore the habits that make them successful, and the
highs, lows and pivots that pushed them forward.
"Everyone has a dream of starting their own business, of being
their own boss," said Steve Blank.
"'Entrepreneurs are Everywhere' will offer SiriusXM listeners
across the country battle-tested, practical advice on how to make
their idea a reality. Whether you drive a Tesla or a Ford
F150, this is the show for you. It is the show for the 99% of
America – those with the passion, smarts and know-how to make their
dreams come true."
"SiriusXM is at the forefront of broadcasting shows hosted by
ambitious, creative people sharing their success stories and we are
excited to welcome Steve Blank, one
of the most respected entrepreneurs in the world who literally
wrote the book on how to succeed in a startup," said Scott Greenstein, President and Chief Content
Officer, SiriusXM. "Steve has developed a true and tested
formula for launching highly successful businesses and we are
thrilled to have him share that knowledge and insight with SiriusXM
listeners across the country."
"Entrepreneurs Are Everywhere," will air Thursdays at
4:00 pm ET on SiriusXM's Business
Radio Powered by the Wharton School channel 111 and replay
Saturdays at 11:00 am ET and Sundays

also be available through the SiriusXM App on smartphones and other
connected devices, as well as online, and on SiriusXM On Demand for

Steve Blank has changed how
startups are built and how entrepreneurship is taught around the
globe. His May 2013 Harvard Business
Review article on the Lean Startup defined the movement.
Steve is widely recognized as a thought leader on startups and
innovation. His books - The Startup Owner's Manual and
The Four Steps to the Epiphany - and blog have redefined how
to build successful startups, and his Lean LaunchPad class at
Stanford, Berkeley, Columbia and NYU
has redefined how entrepreneurship is taught. His articles
regularly appear in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune,
The Atlantic and Huffington Post.
