What is the difference between a pitch and telling a story? - John Fein: Managing Partner Firebrand Ventures

Bienvenidos Crazy Wisdom Podcast welcome to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast Bem Vindo A Crazy Wisdom Podcast Bienvenue Crazy Wisdom Podcast Today I interviewed John Fine. John is the managing partner at Firebrand vc. He was previously a techstars managing director. He's ran multi billion projects and he lives in Kansas City. And I really, really enjoyed this conversation I had with him because John is also a fan of questions. He doesn't talk so much about having answers, but he really has this insightful way of inquiring into the nature of reality. And he deals a lot with technology. So it's technology from the reality, from the aspect of technology. It's become clear to me in my life that the people I want to surround myself with are not the ones who have a lot of answers. They're the ones who have a lot of questions and can ask me the right questions at the right time. That would bring something out in me that I wouldn't figure out how to

bring out in myself.

And John is definitely one of those people. We got into a lot of stuff today, and I really hope you find this episode particularly interesting and insightful.
