Episode notes

I would say that of all the people who work with me at O'Shaughnessy Ventures, I have maybe met a third of them in real life. The head of my infinite media's vertical is Liberty on Twitter and literally I followed him for years and years on his newsletter. We are very simpatico. And part of the thesis for the new company has been that good taste for lack of a better word leads to good curation leads to finding the people who love that kind of stuff. But it certainly did not stop me from hiring a bunch of people just on the work of their work and the way that we synced up.

Designer, entrepreneur and Visualize Value founder Jack Butcher joins us for his second appearance on the show to discuss how to get closer to reality, the differences between the US & the UK, whether vision can be taught, and MUCH more!
