Dr. Jansen in the house!!!
In this version of the @Iron Pillar Big Picture Podcast, it was an absolute delight to speak with @Mark Jansen, who has had an incredible journey from @massachusetts institute of technology trained chemical engineer (where he and I were classmates) to professor of finance at the @university of utah, with tenures as an entrepreneur, investor, advisor, and for good measure...a triathlete:) We, at Iron Pillar, are also delighted to have Mark as an LP and member of the Iron Pillar Network.In the episode, Mark talks not only about his passion for teaching and research, especially in the area of #venturecapital and #privateequity, but also the concept of a founder-startup fit -- something that we, at Iron Pillar, refer to as the ideal combination of #aptitude and #attitude for a founder. Mark's own path and his candid advice are worth listening to.
