  • Summary

  • Brad Feld (@bfeld), VC at Foundry Group and co-author with Dave Jilk of The Entrepreneur’s Weekly Nietzsche, joined Village Global co-founder and partner Ben Casnocha to discuss:

    - Common misconceptions about Nietzsche and why being misunderstood makes him an especially interesting philosopher.

    - What Nietzsche can teach entrepreneurs deciding whether to pivot or persevere. Brad says that founders should view their entrepreneurial journey not in terms of a single company, but as the next 30-50 years of their life.

    - Why Brad hates the term “passion” and says it’s overused in entrepreneurial circles.

    - Why to focus more on whether someone’s words and actions line up rather than the strength of their beliefs.

    - The lessons that Brad has for making decisions among groups today given Nietzsche’s aphorism that “insanity in individuals is rare, but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule.”
