Tim Draper on Bitcoin, Big Leaps, and the Future of Innovation

In this fascinating episode, I sit down with Silicon Valley legend Tim Draper, the billionaire venture capitalist behind groundbreaking investments in startups like Tesla, Skype, and Coinbase, as well as an early champion of Bitcoin. Founder of Draper Associates and Hero University, Tim has shaped the future of entrepreneurship and education, empowering leaders to innovate and thrive in a rapidly changing world.

We dive deep into the potential golden age of tech in America, the geopolitical shifts shaping opportunity hotspots, and Tim’s bold predictions for Bitcoin and blockchain. Tim shares the wisdom passed down from his father, the philosophies that guide him, and why he’s always been obsessed with understanding how the world—and people—work.

Shifting gears, we explore why businesses often fail—not because of markets or products, but due to trust, leadership breakdowns, and personal limitations like fear and self-doubt. Tim passionately discusses the role of education in fostering confidence and integrity, and how his Hero University helps entrepreneurs overcome these barriers to take the leap.

We also get an update on Tim’s personal bucket list, from his incredible story of freeing a prisoner in El Salvador to his plans for walking on the moon. Plus, he reveals his current mission to advocate for controversial figures like Elizabeth Holmes, Ross Ulbricht, and CZ, and the sectors he believes will drive the next wave of innovation.

Packed with insights on life, leadership, and the future of investing, this episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to expand their perspective and take bold action.
