🏊‍♂️ Episode 64 — Farhan Lalji and Dario de Wet (LTV Capital)

I think about storytelling all the time—how we use it to build firms, convey strategy, and earn belief.

Farhan and Dario made me think about it differently.

This episode opened up a deeper lens on what it means to lead with narrative in venture. Farhan’s line—“the best fund builders inspire belief”—echoes in every pitch meeting I’ve sat in. And Dario’s challenge that intentionality is what separates a firm from a fund pushed me to think about Stresswood in sharper terms.

There’s no hype in this episode. Just two thoughtful people trying to do the work right. If you're building something bigger than yourself, this one's for you.
