    Episode 13: An interview with venture capitalist Steve Schlafman from Primary Ventures.

    In this episode Trent Lapinski and Steve Schlafman discuss venture capital, leadership, executive coaching, and even mediation.

    “For me I always ask myself is this an entrepreneur who that is special, talented, tenacious, and on a mission.”
    “Is this someone who can go and tell a great story, inspire potential employees, investors, partners. Is this someone who people are going to gravitate towards? In a competitive hiring environment, are they going to be able to build a World class team?”
    “I don’t need to see a huge amount of traction. I need to answer the question: Is there enough evidence or an unique insight that people want the product or service. I love founders that are incredibly focused on the customer. Is this someone who is just incredibly focused, and obsessed with the customer and solving their problem?” 
    “Is this team on a journey that is important, bold, difficult, and inspiring? In someways does it make me uncomfortable because it is hard?”— Steve Schlafman

  • E12 - Building an Effective Crypto Product with Miles Paschini from B21
    Episode 12: An interview with entrepreneur Miles Paschini from B21.

    In this episode Trent Lapinski and Miles Paschini discuss what it takes to build an effective crypto product.

    “In bear markets the good people go build products, and in the bull markets people speculate.”
    “Once you get to critical mass, theres a lot of friction that exists between the existing banking World, and the emerging crypto payments World.”
    “We’re all in, we believe that blockchain is the future. We believe that investing in the alternative asset class of crypto should be a part of people’s future portfolios. We need to get to a point as an industry where we can point to things and say, ‘hey this is a productized example where the blockchain is better’ and it is being used at scale. But, remember you’re building a community.” — Miles Paschini

  • E11 - The Elusive Black Swan with David Kadavy
    Episode 11: An interview with creative entrepreneur, best selling author, and podcaster David Kadavy

    In this episode Trent Lapinski and David Kadavy discuss elusive black swam moments, which are moments that describe an event that comes as a surprise and have a major effect.

    “I had an event where my e-mail list went from 5,000 to 30,000 within a couple weeks. All these events, they kind of happened, and I did things to make them happen, but I couldn’t have predicted that they were going to happen. So I wondered to myself, how can you make black swans happen?”
    “They suffer from interacting with an issue I call irrational rationality. Which is the treating of absence of evidence as evidence of absence.” 
    “It always really turned me off, the whole A/B testing obsession that there was in Silicon Valley… Well yeah, if you can use machine learning to do that, that’s even more reasons for you to try and ignore those activities. Then look for the activities that are low investment, but uncertain in outcome. That uncertain outcome may be a very positive outcome.” — David Kadavy
