💎 I'm terrible at social media, so I am constantly figuring out ways to hack my psyche, and this, my friends, is the ultimate hack.

After our Remedy VC's Modern Angel event last month, I grabbed a post-panel whiskey with a friend and trending podcaster, Andy Walsh. I left with a podcast.

2 weeks later, it's live! Check it out!

It's called Angels Decoded. 

It's Angel 201.

Part knowledge dropping. Part hot take.

All in a 15-minute snack-sized bite, dropping each Friday.

The madness behind the magic

There's plenty of "what is a SAFE" content out there. That's not this. This is the stuff nobody tells you about angel investing until you are two checks in, wondering why you feel lost:

• How to actually build a portfolio when investing isn't your full-time job
• How to know when your gut is signal vs. noise
• What conviction feels like before you have a track record to point at
• How to get smarter with every deal instead of just busier

Andy is the perfect co-host for this because he knows startups cold — built them, sold them — but has never written an angel check.

So he asks the questions most people are thinking but won't say out loud.

I provide the answer and the hot takes. 🌶🌶

👉 Listen to Episode 1 of Angels Decoded

PS: The first episode may be a little rough. There is a point where I accidentally trigger the balloon drop feature in Zoom. But I am feeding each transcript into a training AI that is helping me get a little better every week. Follow along to see if it works.
