Investing in the Cathedrals of the Future with Kevin Withane

In this episode of Be & Think in the House of Trust, I am listening to Kevin Withane, the Founder and Managing Partner of Diversity-X VC, a community and VC firm in the making that supports underestimated founders solving real-world problems and making a positive impact in their communities and the world. Kevin qualified as a barrister and has a background in corporate law. He has worked around the world over the last two decades, including at private practice law firms, quasi-governmental organisations, SMEs, and most recently at an FTSE 250 company. He is a passionate advocate for building a sustainable world and for diversity, equity, and inclusion. The insights he shares in this episode will also get you thinking about how we can refocus our perspective and start prioritising the long-term consequences of our decisions.  Highlights from this episode: (01:45) At 45, I feel like I’m just starting to make my impact (06:58) The Basílica de la Sagrada Família (Build cathedrals of the future)(09:54) Knowledge is an open source (12:37) A world of short-termism (15:59) Having a BHAG (17:43) We often miss the glory of our own actions Useful LinksKevin Withane on Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevinwithaneDiversity X VC https://www.diversityx.vc/Connect with Servane:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/servanemouazan/ Website: https://servanemouazan.co.uk Subscribe to Conscious Innovation updates: http://eepurl.com/hp0h55 Podcast Music Production from Series 04 Ep 45: Milig Mouazan-Strachan
