👋Hi, I'm Juan Gabriel and I play games (literally) with tech titans. 🎮
David Hornik (August Capital) was the first content creator in Venture Capital with the first VC blog and his own podcast VentureCast. David is also the creator of The Lobby, a conference that stands out for its lack of programming to create the conditions for candid conversations between digital media leaders. David also teaches venture at Stanford GSB and HBS.
David teaches me (and you) several things in this episode:
- The startup CEO's fatal mistake: running out of money
- Being a board member means being the first to to get the call when things are going well, and the first to get the call when things are going poorly
- Venture relationships can sometimes outlast marriages
- Money is fungible (perhaps more than ever), but the advice you get get through a potential investment crash is not
David has agreed to give a 30 min consultation with listener. To participate all you have to do is share this video on social media or write a review on apple podcasts and send me a picture of the link or review to thejuanonone[at]gmail.com

👋Hi, I'm Juan Gabriel and I play games (literally) with tech titans. 🎮
This time, I'm joined by Tim Chang from Mayfield . Tim has often been called one of the 'fittest men' in Silicon Valley and featured on the Forbes Midas List for the most successful investors. Tim is a compassionate investor and a burner that admits Burning Man transformed his life and opened him up to double down on building his own communities.
From building his own 'Jeffersonian Dinners' featuring scientists, tech personalities and science fiction writers to investing in the future of the planet, or being in a band, Tim is a complex and multifaceted investor with a valuable perspective in making tomorrow better.
In this episode you'll learn about his history with gaming, his perspective as a steward of capital for conscious capitalism and the importance of establishing communities for yourself and for brand to succeed.
Also, Tim has agreed to give a 20 minute consultation with a viewer. All you have to do is write a review on this podcast in Apple Podcasts OR share this on an any social media channel. Send a picture of either option to thejuanonone[at]gmail.com to participate.
