Audio

Description

You will typically have over 1,000 interactions in any given year. Three of those interactions will change your life, but you have no idea which three. So, how will you show up to each interaction you have? Kauffman Fellows CEO, Jeff Harbach, chats with Chris Lyons (Andreessen Horowitz General Partner) who leads the firm’s Cultural Leadership Fund (CLF). Chris discusses his impact at a16z, which is rooted in creating win-win opportunities across the cultural influencer and startup ecosystem, while also bringing more Black talent, executives, and professionals into technology. On being entrepreneur-first, Chris shares: “VC is the ultimate service industry. Remove all the financial situations, or what's in it for me, and take the opportunity that you're in as an opportunity to serve.”
