Leanpub: Publish Early, Publish Often

About

In The Leanpub Podcast, we interview authors and special guests about their lives & careers, their areas of expertise and the issues of the moment, and their experiences as writers. Every episode is deeply researched and covers areas that are equally of human interest, general interest, and professional interest.

David Diez is co-founder of OpenIntro, a nonprofit focused on bringing textbooks to students, no matter their financial means. In this interview, Leanpub co-founder Len Epp talks with David about his background, working in statistics from both the academic and the business perspective, OpenIntro and its mission, why textbooks are so expensive and possible parallels with the US healthcare industry, and at the end, they talk a little bit about writing and publishing OpenIntro's textbooks.
