Meet Mike Miller, co-founder of Liquid 2 Ventures. In this episode, we explore his journey from being a nuclear physicist to a successful entrepreneur and investor. We dig into why so much VC dogma isn't rooted in fact, and how Liquid 2 has forged it's own path - one that many new funds are copying.

He shares how he stays ahead of the technology curve and how, rather than being sector-focused as an investor, he is more focused on how big the opportunity can be, regardless of the sector.

Lastly, he shares advice from his father that shapes his day-to-day outlook, and how those who learn early what hard work looks like can have a significant impact on how they approach things later in life.
