The Road to Leadership Was Built on Failed Management: The Story Behind This Series

Season One, Episode Zero: Alex and Elliot look back on the founding of their non-profit and the subsequent fizzling into nothingness.

 

It’s nearly the holidays, which means it’s the perfect time to release the story behind the podcast. This week, Alex and Elliot revisit how they initially met, the time they conducted a coup that resulted in the launch of a non-profit, and why iffy managerial tactics resulted in a leadership mindset that they still follow today.

 

Oh, and there was also that time they had to duke it out with the mayor of DC who was trying to take their name.

 

This is the story of the birth and disappearance of Digital District.
