Startup Mindsets

We meet interesting entrepreneurs through this podcast and I'd like to introduce you to Shaun Gold, a self described polymath. Shaun's been involved with the bustling nightlife industry as a promoter in Miami, published 4 books, worked in the venture capital industry for Open VC, competed on Jeopardy on ABC, worked as a screenwriter

Throughout the conversation, you'll hear Shaun cite philosophers in response to open ended questions regarding entrepreneurship and his life decisions.

Valuable Life Lessons:

You have to be able to think and plunge and reflect
Be reliable, dependable, and able to deliver lessons from being a promoter in Miami.
Too much reflection and no action so you have to combine being able to reflect
Bang the wall everyday, the mountain will not be climbed for you.
"It's not you who's eating the idea, it's the idea that's eating you.

From my count, we recalled Plato, Tolstoy, Gerta, Aristotle
