Podcast Appearances
Some of the VCs will come in, but usually it's early stage, so you don't have the VCs coming in.
But and then also I was interacting before that.
And one of the reasons why I think they they brought me in as kind of this liaison is I did a little bit of angel investing back in the day.
And I did a little just small, small stuff.
Nothing I would brag about.
No, nothing.
But it's like you're learning, right?
You're learning the ecosystem.
You're creating a network.
I went to a couple events.
You heard of Jason Calacanis, right?
Yeah.
J-Cal.
And I remember in 2015, I think it was 2015.
Yeah.
I went to one of his events because he hosted.
He probably still does host a lot of events.
This was before I really got political.
I was kind of more involved in tech, startups, business, entrepreneurship, just to see where I could go, whether it's podcasts, this and that.
And so I bumped into him, and I went to the event.
