So what is this podcast about, you ask?

Well, it's a podcast for current and wannabe angel investors (like us) and founders. 

We share the learnings from our angel journey and discuss all the topics we wish someone had taught us. Most importantly, we learn from the best by interviewing well-known and under-the-radar angel investors. 

We keep it light, fast, and informative and have fun hot takes on trending Twitter threads.

Teflon

I keep learning over and over again be like teflon. 

Don’t let your ego let things stick. 

Memory of a goldfish. 

The last thing you did shouldn’t hold you back from what you do next. 

Failure, no’s, etc. 

Are just a not yet in disguise.
