"I think every human being has the ability to go down any path they want to." - Jason Lim
Of all the people I know personally Jason Lim is probably the person who reads the most.
Jason is an Associate at Adventure Capital, an early-stage venture capital firm in Melbourne, Australia and the General Manager at the York Butter Factory technology innovation hub. He consults executives in ASX 200 and Fortune 500 companies as well as early stage startups. He is an Entrepreneurial Fellow at the University of Melbourne and has guest lectured about technology and startups in Postgraduate and Executive MBA classes at the University of Melbourne and RMIT.
We talk about the importance of introspection, seeking wisdom, the meaning of life, reading books for the purpose of self-development, how to read more often, surrounding yourself with good people and much more.
Huge thanks again to the guys at Omny Studio for letting me use their recording studio to do this episode.
