In the fifteenth episode of The Idealists (formerly Grit & Grace), Melissa interviews Jane Murray, a former lawyer who spent decades running a venture capital fund overseeing investments in start-up/early-stage companies in a broad cross-sector of industries. With first-hand experience of the world of cut-throat competition, individualism, and isolationism, now Jane is reimagining the role of the entrepreneur and recently authored The Path of the Entrepreneur, Understanding Your Shadow with the London School of Economics accelerator LSE Generate. She talks to us about understanding one’s shadow and understanding power.
