On this week’s episode I chatted with Sam Lessin, Co-Founder of Fin and General Partner at Slow Ventures.

Sam is, in the truest sense, a Silicon Valley insider. He’s a part of the Harvard tech mafia, friends with Zuckerberg and has built a few different tech startups.

Beyond all of that, he is an extremely deep and abstract thinker. I’ve always been a fan of listening to and learning from him.

During our chat we discussed how he sees the VC model changing (he has some strong opinions on this which are great), the evolution of media and its business models, the differences between US and China government strategies towards tech and a whole lot more. Enjoy.
