20VC: Tim Ferriss: Why I Walked Away From Angel Investing After Uber | How I Accidentally Lost $150 Million | Money Fixed My Problems—Then Made Me Miserable

This is 20 VC with me, Harry Stebbings, and this episode was about 10 years in the making. No one actually knows this, but I started podcasting because I fell in love with Tim Ferris's podcast 10 years ago. I remember listening to it for the first time, and I actually used his episode with Ed Cook to study for exams at school before I dropped out. He has been a idle inspiration. mentor to me for many years.

I'm so thrilled that we were able to do this show today. It's one of the most thoughtful and reflective that we've done. I'd love your feedback. Let me know what you think, Harry at 20vc.com.
