During my High School and Undergraduate days, I had the opportunity to manage an American/German fusion restaurant...
It was a Wienerschnitzel on Mesa Drive in El Paso.
And while I learned to balance work, school, and play, one thing I don’t think I could have done was run my OWN business.
My guest today not only had the drive to make that time-investment, he would go on to sell that business years later to the tune of millions of dollars.
Dave Berkus got his start in the record industry. As a young kid interested in Hi-Fi audio, he would eventually purchase the equipment to record and produce records. First for local choirs and events, and eventually, Hollywood.
He has become one of the largest angel investors in Silicon Valley, and his Berkus Method for evaluating where investors should spend their money is one of the most tried and true formulas for success.
Dave and I discuss what leadership looks like as you move through different careers, why it’s important to celebrate other’s wins, and why sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself.
Enjoy the show.
