Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Greg Bohlen grew up on a farm, so it might not be surprising that he now runs a regenerative vineyard called Union Grove Farm. What's a bit more surprising is that between leaving his childhood farm and founding Union Grove, he got an MBA, owned a bank at 25 years old, became an investment banker, and then founded one of the most successful venture capital firms in the country.
In this episode, you'll learn about Greg's path from farming to venture capital and back, the importance of being willing to take risks and seize opportunities, and why Greg thinks regenerative farming is not just a key to environmental change, but can be more financially sustainable in the long run. As someone with one foot each in two very different worlds, Greg has important insights for anyone trying to figure out what the next step in their journey should be.
