Fred Destin – You need to embrace chaos to succeed

Share on

Fred Destin, partner at Atlas Ventures and 12-year veteran venture capitalist, talks about the increasing pace of change in the world, the chaos that can create and how we can thrive in that chaos.

In this inspiring talk he lays out how difficult it is to predict and define success in today’s fast-paced society. He talks about how simply thinking that we’re lucky can have an impact on our lives and how focusing simply on money isn’t a path to happiness. Fred also talks about how to work through hard times and how to write your own rules.

Although this may not seem like a Product Management talk it’s an important lesson in how to approach your changing markets, your career and your life.
