Disruption, Reinvention, and Reimagining Silicon Valley with Arlan Hamilton - a podcast by Chase Jarvis

Arlan Hamilton built a venture capital fund from the ground up, while homeless and living off of food stamps.  Now she’s on the cover of Fast Company Magazine - and she has invested millions in startups run by people of color, women, and members of the LGBTQ community.  

Through pursuing her curiosity and passion,  Arlan’s found a way to create a living and a life for herself and work on a really tough problem: reconfiguring the ways that money and funding flow through these underrepresented and underserved populations.

In this episode we also cover:

• Persistence forever pays. No matter how many no's Arlan received, she shares the driving force behind her determination.
• We are all privileged in some way. Arlan has a beautiful perspective in how we can all share in that privilege without diminishing our own.
• We can all give ourselves strength and support by surrounding yourself  people who are positive and motivational - even if that's virtually through the internet.
• We discuss some of Arlan’s routines and her particularly interesting habit of writing her own future headlines. 
• and lots more….

Enjoy!
