Marcus Stroud: Adversity is a Privilege

March 30, 2022 • Bradley Baker & Joshua Bonhotal

Our guest this episode is Marcus Stroud, a former athlete turned investor and founder of TXV Ventures. He discusses the role of a venture capitalist, how he thinks about investment decisions, why he made Future his first big investment, and what's ahead in the health and fitness space.

With all the injuries, setbacks and failures he sustained during his football career, they pale in comparison to the losses he took in his first year in venture capital. Not only that, he would do it all over again, because he has learned it is a blessing to have hardship, adversity and struggle in life. He shares the highs, the lows, and the importance of working in the dark to find your true purpose and ultimately create the life you want. There is no sugar-coating, it takes damn hard work and lack of “balance” in order to create a 1% life, but Marcus highlights how genuine kindness and compassion are key elements to succeed and achieve true happiness and wealth.
