  • How do you evolve?

    Loved the framework for how do you evolve. Mindset required. A leader needs to have strong convictions but be ready to let go if /when new info comes along. Proactively seek out new info ALL the time…read voraciously, talk to customers, peers, network, direct reports, etc. be a sponge. High impact podcast David. Keep em coming!

No Strategy When He Joined, Still Took Them to $1.6B - Scott Staples - First Advantage - EP #120
Q: What is the one thing, big or small, that you've done at First Advantage that's had the biggest impact, and you would do again if you're CEO of another company in the future?

This VC Admitted He Was Wrong for Passing on the Seed - Jake Fingert, Camber Creek - EP#119
Q: What do you think that founders do not understand about your side of the table as an investor?

This VC Admitted He Was Wrong for Passing on the Seed - Jake Fingert, Camber Creek - EP#119
Q: What is the one thing that you look for in the companies that you invest in, or the founders, the one thing?
Fingert prioritizes resilience: founders need a durable motivation to solve a real problem and the ability to persist through the difficult stages of building a company.
Why Founders Feel Lost After a Successful Exit - Barak Kaufman - Post-Exit Founders - EP#117
Q: What do you think it is from a founder perspective, like the founders don't understand about the other side of the table?
Kaufman says founders need to genuinely believe in the future they describe, and understand that venture investors may be less organized than expected and often respond to fear of missing out. He recommends running fundraising as a deliberate process rather than passively taking meetings.
