What drives a man to build startups, fund innovation, and still keep faith and family at the center of it all?

Gavin sits down with Spencer Elliott - venture capitalist, founder, and Director at Plug and Play Tech Center - to explore purpose, perseverance, and the power of gratitude.

From humble beginnings in Orlando to leading one of the world's most active VC networks, Spencer opens up about the childhood experiences that forged his character, the faith that grounds him, and the family that fuels his ambition.

Together, they dive deep into entrepreneurship, fatherhood, and Florida's emerging role as the "Silicon Swamp."

This is more than a success story. It's a masterclass in purpose-driven living.
