Description

Back in August I got together with Jordan Wolfe.

We discussed:

1. Jordan's thesis on investing at the interface of life sciences, financial services and climate technology;
2. Lessons from building and exiting a real estate development business;
3. How the public sector and private sector should interact to drive innovation;
4. The importance of finding meaning in your work and relationships.

If none of those things excites you, there's also an abridged history of Detroit - the Silicon Valley of the Fordist era - thrown in for good measure.

There are two key parts to the discussion. Up to 29:00, we discuss Jordan's learnings in real estate and entrepreneurship.

From 29:00 onwards, we discuss his investment thesis as a full-time angel, which centres on the idea of "biosphere consciousness". Concretely, we cover climate finance and zero carbon supply chains powered by advances in synthetic biology.
