Episode 016: Not at Vegas Summer League: Urgency in July, Inspiration from Your Kids, and More

Stretch Four Podcast Episode 016

Welcome back to the Stretch Four Podcast. This is Episode 16 of the podcast! This week, we're coming to you from San Francisco instead of the NBA Summer League in Vegas. We'll discuss the importance of having urgency, inspired by a recent podcast I listened to with Frank Slootman as a guest and how I am using July to set a high focus to keep my team motivated, as well as the realities of remote work as a CEO.

We'll also dive into the life of being a founder and how it relates to fatherhood inspired by Draymond Green of all people, and share some insights from other podcasts and LinkedIn posts that got me thinking about fatherhood versus work as the wifey and I move into the third trimester.

Don't miss out on this all-encompassing life of being a founder and what that entails.

  • The episode features a discussion on the importance of maintaining urgency and intensity to keep people focused on their goals.

  • Matt talks about his podcast and what it is and how it takes an inside baseball approach to the venture capital industry from a founder's perspective.

  • The episode includes a segment on fatherhood and parenting, including insights from NBA player Draymond Green and a LinkedIn post by Jordan Nichols.

  • The importance of having a support system in place to execute the founder's vision is emphasized.
