SHOW NOTES:

Topic 1 - Welcome to the show. Tell about your background prior to joining Amplify Partners. 
Topic 2 - There’s an interesting thread that weaves its way through aspects of your career - being able to build intelligent models to understand and predict somewhat unstable environments. Can you walk us through the process of how those models and the analysis comes together? 
Topic 3 - There’s a level of responsibility through the supply-chain of our industry. I feel like VCs have a responsibility to not only spot trends, but also spot frauds. How does your background and experience help you determine good investments, or strong potential trends?  
Topic 4 - One of your focus areas is machine intelligence. What is the state of machine intelligence today, and where are some of the areas that encourage you that it can become more widely used?
