What's Stayed the Same?

One of the most enjoyable and educational types of conversations we have on this show is with individuals that have operated and invested at the highest levels. It’s a unique blended perspective which provides insight and empathy for founders on their journey to build generational companies.

This week I was thrilled to be joined by Ravi Gupta, Partner at Sequoia Capital. Prior to Sequoia, Ravi served as CFO/COO of Instacart.

We covered a variety of topics in this wide ranging discussion - how to lead while being demanding & supportive, desperation-induced focus, building enduring culture and the interrelation of agency, trust and authenticity.

This was one of the most enjoyable conversations I’ve had on the podcast and I was lucky to have it with my good friend Ravi.
