Control This - Brad Feld (Co-Founder Foundry Group, TechStars & more)

Brad Feld is a true serial-entrepreneur. He's co-founded the Foundry Group, Mobius Venture Capital, Intensity Ventures, and TechStars. He’s also a marathoner, and active writer with three very popular blogs:: Feld Thoughts, Startup Revolution, and Ask the VC.

In his very candid Paper Napkin Wisdom, Brad talks about riding the entrepreneurial roller coaster, and asking for help as he shares his life view philosophy. Brad believes that we can’t always be deterministic about our end game; neither in regards to our business or our personal lives. It is because we don’t always have control, he says, that we should be mindful of how we control our time. Brad also discusses how he has come to terms with his own depressive tendencies and openly shares his story as he talks about the ways he gets help from his team as he navigates his depression. It’s a truly incredible conversation with a compelling leader, and just should not be missed. Listen to the Podcast here:
