Danny Cortenraede is a successful investor, former media exec, and founder of InStudio Ventures — but this episode isn’t about business deals or exit valuations.
It’s about balance.
About fatherhood.
About building a wildly ambitious life without sacrificing your health, your kids, or your peace of mind.
In this raw and honest conversation, Danny shares the tools, systems, and mindset shifts that helped him move his family across continents, build a venture fund, and stay grounded in what really matters. We talk about marriage, money, kids, burnout, discipline, and how to design a life that’s both powerful and peaceful.
