James Oliver, Jr., founder of the Kabila Founder Mental Health Fund and author of Burn Bright, Not Out, challenges the traditional investment landscape.

This conversation provides a raw look at the realities of the startup grind and offers a practical vision for a healthier, more sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem.
