Episode notes

i've been pleasantly surprised with in an eco system like miami is that people are not ashamed to be successful. And weirdly, i think washington, in some corners, has moved away from that, that story of creation. Mystery makes it fun. When you do it yourself, it's just impossible for it to be fun. The most dreaded experience in just about every company: employee engagement and happy hours over zom.

We sit down with a16z General Partner Katherine Boyle to discuss investing in “American Dynamism”, why it’s so important and why now is the right time to pursue it. Katherine has a fascinating background, beginning her career as a reporter at The Washington Post before entering the VC world first at Founders Fund, then General Catalyst and now a16z. Her perspectives don’t fit neatly in any box — political, economic or otherwise — and we have a great conversation exploring them. Tune in!
