Leadership in Startups, Investing in Deep Tech, and Life Learnings From Fatherhood

My Conversation with Ollie Allen Fox on the Brick by Brick Podcast

A few weeks ago I had the privilege of sitting down with Ollie Allen Fox, host of the Brick by Brick Podcast and Founder of WEBOAF, a creative growth studio for deeptech startups. We had a chance to cover a range of topics from investing in deeptech to founder leadership to more personal topics like fatherhood and life. Here’s a few of my favorite timestamps/topics:

09:47 How do VC's find investment opportunities in Deep Tech?

22:17 Mike's lessons from his early times as an entrepreneur

24:03 Should you stay in a stable career or start a company?

31:32 Having fun and playing to win

43:42 The importance of aligning leaders with organizational culture

57:31 How to attract the best team to your deep tech startup?

01:06:17 What does being a Father teach you about life?

I hope you enjoy the conversation, linked below (the conversation is over an hour, but plays well on 1.5x speed :).
