Episode 20 - Boardroom with Ed Wilson

Welcome to The Kurty D Show, a podcast presenting unique perspectives shaping the world. This week, I'm excited to share my conversation with my friend, Ed Wilson, a Co-Founder, and Managing Partner at Impulsum Ventures—a seed-stage venture capital fund and product studio based in Santa Monica, California. Prior to Impulsum, Ed was an investor at Anthos Capital. Ed studied at Occidental College in LA (where Barack Obama went to undergrad), and Ed got his Master's at Columbia University in New York City.

This is a super fun show. We had lots of laughs including remembering the time Ed and I ran into Wim Hoff, The Iceman, on the beach in Venice. Ed gets real about overcoming some personal challenges as he shares an inspiring story about how his semi-professional skateboarding journey has been a key to finding his ikigai.

Ed is one of the most soulful, thoughtful, and smartest friends, so I am thrilled to be able to share this conversation. This show has a lot to offer to anybody interested in self-awareness, tech startups, investing, skateboarding, surfing, and the Southern California tech market.
