Ep 22: MATE-TIME with Alan Jones - a podcast by ALTS Projects

from 2020-12-20T21:21:15

:: ::

Alan Jones (the good one) joins the A LOT TO SAY Podcast for the 2nd last released for 2020, and the 2nd one recorded in-person thus far. Alan is regularly enlisted as an entrepreneur in residence for various accelerator programs and is an active investor, advisor and mentor for all matters pertaining to technology growth, investment, go-to-market strategy, marketing, PR and so much more.

Alan is a part of the furniture in the Australian technology ecosystem, but in so many ways as he communicates, it feels like he is just getting started, both by way of his M8 Ventures initiative and also with the looming opportunities in the startup ecosystem off the back of the 2020 disruption. It feels like a new period of formative time for the ecosystem is close!

A few points in the chit-chat:

  1. Being a fan of this podcast!
  2. Embracing failure and striking out tall-poppy syndrome
  3. Growing up in a musical family
  4. Imposter syndrome as a journalist interviewing tech identities
  5. A combination of media and tech as a career
  6. Breaking down team mono-cultures
  7. The personas carried into any given situation...
  8. An overview of accelerator programs and the technology investment landscape at large
  9. Establishing M8 Ventures, a true partnership
  10. Finding a best mate as your child grows up
