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."

Ken Honda is the world-renowned "Zen Millionaire" and bestselling author of Happy Money, and in this Icons interview with Tyler Waye, he reveals that true wealth has far less to do with your bank balance than it does with your emotional state.

While most financial experts focus on Money IQ—the mechanics of investing and taxes—Ken argues that your Money EQ is the real key to freedom. He challenges us to look deeper at our financial traumas, explaining how childhood experiences often freeze our potential in a state of "Ice."

Through the practice of "Arigato," Ken teaches us how to treat money like a best friend rather than a source of constant anxiety. If you are ready to stop the cycle of scarcity and start healing your relationship with wealth, this conversation is your roadmap.

Key Takeaways:

Money IQ vs. EQ: Why your emotions dictate your net worth.

The Three States: Moving from competition to abundance.

Healing Trauma: Letting go of financial guilt and shame.

Finding Purpose: Using your past "seeds" to grow your Ikigai.

The legendary Iceman, Wim Hof, returns to The Icons to discuss his blueprint for reawakening the power of your mind, body, and soul. Hof, a global phenomenon who has shattered the limits of human potential, asserts that we are capable of much more than we think.

In this interview with Tyler Waye, Hof explains his method, which uses breathing and cold exposure to regulate emotions and address issues like depression and inflammation. He recounts how he turned inward after the suicide of his wife and found that the cold "makes you shut up" and realize who you are. Through breathing, he says, you can change the body's biochemistry and release trauma.
