Pooja in conversation with Lu Zhang, Founder and Managing Partner of Silicon Valley venture firm, Fusion Fund.
In this conversation we dive deep into the inner skills that have contributed to Lu’s outward success. A product of inner Mongolia and a child of entrepreneurs, Lu cultivated a fearlessness toward risk and discomfort early on in life. She also discusses the power of being equanimous and non judgemental in the face of challenge, and the personal freedom and power that comes from being fiercely and consistently authentic to her true self.
You will also hear Lu reflect on how, over time, she learned that an airtight conviction to her principles is the most effective antidote to pitfalls associated with ego, comparison and competition and the best path to contributing real value in the world.
