    Can You Be Ambitious Without Sacrificing Happiness? | Brian Nichols, Angel Squad Founder

    Today I'm talking with an amazing human and close friend, Brian Nichols. We first met when working together at Lyft. He's now the founder of Angel Squad, an amazing community that helps you learn how to invest in startups. They've invested over $70 million to date in over a hundred companies and have over 2,500 members. What stuck out to me about this conversation is this unique version of competitiveness that fuels Brian’s creativity. It's not the aggressive win-it-all costs flavor, but rather an incredibly caring and compassionate one. So let's dive in and explore.

    Faherty Founder & CEO Mike Faherty on Craftsmanship, Building a Brand, and Making the Greatest Version of Everything

    I just dropped an amazing conversation with Mike Faherty, founder and CEO of Faherty Brand, on YouTube and Spotify. Mike co-founded the brand back in 2013 with his brother after being fascinated with fabric and clothing ever since he was a kid exploring with his dad. He then went on to Ralph Lauren, where he spent over a decade getting deeply involved in the fabric mills and the pattern creation. This is a beautiful story of following your passion ever since you were a kid. "When you believe in it that much, you almost don't care if it sells. You're like — I think it's cool."
