And the only way that ever happens is if all of us take the time to leave it better than we found it.” - Matt Bigge“The people that I admire most are the folks that have seen the worst the world has to offer and seen the best the world has to offer and still think the world is extraordinary.” - Joe Musselman—Timestamps:*(00:00) Intro*(09:57) Comparing personal and professional milestones*(14:24) Military lessons in leadership*(17:28) Matt's biggest mentors*(19:42) The FIRE Framework for Decision Making*(26:56) Transitioning from Military Operator to CEO*(29:07) Struggles that shaped Matt*(35:06) Impact of constructive critiques in mentorship*(39:09) The power of simple questions: Understanding Matt's identity*(46:01) Joining Crosslink Capital*(1:05:25) Intersection of venture capital and national security*(1:21:12) Balancing work and personal life as a founder*(1:26:30) Building effective founding teams*(1:34:15) Rewards and challenges in VC—Sponsors: https://bv.vc/The TLC Equation is brought to you by Bravo Victor Venture Capital.

And like making sure that your kids learn kind of those fundamental skills is important. And I think just because there's other people to do it, you know, my dad didn't call a plumber. He's like, Nelson, come change this toilet, right? So instead of calling the robot to change the toilet, have your kid do it. You just have to make sure you keep instilling those values and putting limits on technology, right? Just like a lot of parents today put limits on screen time if they're smart about it.” - Nelson Mills“I spent a decade working in Hollywood and got to know some really amazing artists. And it was always interesting to me, and maybe like, Prince may have been the highest profile of someone who definitely is seen from the outside as this genius and groundbreaker. And then you get to sort of, not that I really got to know him, but you get to know him better than the average person. And you realize, just what you said, Joe, is these people kind of don't see themselves as these extraordinary individuals, as crazy as that may sound, or as these geniuses. I mean, clearly, they all have their unique characters, but they're just them. This is their life. It's kind of all they've known. And it's empowering. Because, Steve always said, this is like the greatest moment of freedom, is when you realize you can have any impact on the world that you want to have. Like anyone can make a difference. You don't need to be seen as a genius or super special. And in getting to know Prince, he was a guy from Minnesota and, and I'm like, wow. This ...
