Lessons on Life & Business through the VC Lens

I’ve spent the last 30 years helping build companies—from startups to billions. Along the way, I’ve became fascinated by the actual reality & purpose underneath it all: What does it take to build an extraordinary life? Extraordinary people build great companies with impact.

As a venture capitalist, leadership coach, professor, and lifelong student of human flourishing, I’ve had the privilege of learning from exceptional entrepreneurs, CEOs, coaches, scientists, psychologists, and thinkers. This Substack is where those lessons come together.

You’ll find ideas on the art of the start blended with purpose, resilience, leadership, relationships, decision-making, investing, and designing a life of meaning—not just success. My hope is that each essay offers a practical idea, a new perspective, or simply the encouragement to live a little more intentionally.

Because the greatest venture any of us will ever build is our own life.
