Awesome podcast from @K_Frechette and @TheFullRatchet …. Fun fact VC’s do reply to cold emails and they’re great to have on your cap table. Kevin does a great job covering the story of our founding and where we are going podcasts.apple.com/u…

On VC podcasts I’d much rather hear about their failures than their high profile successes. Less buzz/self-promotion; more real talk and lessons learned. (@TheFullRatchet actually does a great job with this)

Catching up on some older episodes and @TheFullRatchet with Tony Wilkins is amazing! This could have been 3 hours…one of Nick’s best guests. Soooo much great advice. I agree on getting Sam as a future guest.

“Long time listener, first time caller.” I’ve learned so much from Nick's @TheFullRatchet podcast over the years. So much to unpack: Why invest in only one city? How does a geo-centric strategy work? And why would a VC write a murder mystery novel? twitter.com/TFR_Pod/…
