Description

In this episode of BRAVE, Jeremy Au reflects on how becoming a father changed him, the new dimension of life he discovered, his changed relationship with time, the concept of seven-generation stewardship and technology's impact on the next generation.

“I think about the future, the environment, and social issues. I also think about my role as an entrepreneur and venture capitalist and how I’m going to invest my time, attention, capital, and wisdom in the technologies, leaders, and companies that are going to build the future. Suddenly, I'm not just investing capital for capital returns but for something that will transform millions of lives. I hope my children will live better lives because of the technology we’re building together.” - Jeremy Au

"My children gave a deeper meaning to my life and it's on a different axis from happiness. Happiness comes and goes, but meaning doesn’t. This calls back to the philosophy I read that life may not necessarily be happy. It can be full of bad things, fear, tears, and anger, yet it’s meaningful. We also see this in different jobs. Pastors, soldiers, doctors, and the police often have tough lives and they’re not necessarily happy every day, but there’s a deeper meaning in what they do that’s not just qualitative but also quantitatively proven across behavioral economics." - Jeremy Au
