In part two of two, Chris Sacca, the billionaire venture capitalist and former "Shark Tank" star, discusses his views on the leadership efforts of some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley, what really happens behind the scenes on “Shark Tank,” and what he thinks about the deals for him—Airbnb, Dropbox, GoPro—that got away.

"It’s funny because, in our business, I’m wrong a lot," Sacca says. "As funds go, we’ve been one of the least wrong, but we’re still wrong like a third of the time. It’s just, when we’re right, we’re really f*cking right."
