There’s almost no better way to grow on your lean journey than to connect with other lean maniacs and organizations. Although “lean” is a commonly-used word in many circles, it can be hard to find that rare individual who is humble, generous, and on fire about lean.
We have a few recommendations…
Follow Lean Maniacs on YouTube
There are quite a few incredible people and organizations practicing lean and sharing their stories and progress on YouTube. We recommend checking them out and subscribing to their channels.

We strongly recommend that you consider attending the summit.
