- Entrepreneurship
On this episode, I have a conversation with accomplished journalist and serial media entrepreneur Jim VandeHei. Jim is the co-founder and CEO of the media startup Axios and previously was the co-founder and CEO of Politico. Axios, which has raised over 57 million dollars in venture capital and was started in 2016, is a multimedia news organization created to make you smarter faster on what matters. They do this through a collection of articles, newsletters, podcasts and their HBO TV Show, "Axios on HBO." I sat down with Jim to discuss his origin story, the state of news media in 2020 and his ambition for Axios in the years to come. This conversation was recorded on August 6th, 2020, thanks for listening!
