Today's guest is Patrick Heron - Managing Partner of Frazier Life Sciences, a healthcare investment firm focusing on companies developing novel therapeutics.

In our conversation we covered his career, but then we dove into the hard questions: how do you build a successful partnership with a founder? As a VC, how do you balance protecting the interest of your investors with ensuring the business success of the companies you invested in? How do you navigate the hard trade offs when they show up? And then, in his dual role as investor and managing partner of Frazier, how do you build a successful VC firm? How do you manage that type of work force and how do you make sure all the incentives are lined up correctly?

Throughout the episode, Patrick was very transparent and direct. If you are either a VC or aspiring VC or an entrepreneur, you will find a lot of deep insights.
