Thinking of leaving a stable role to build?

In this Flow-Driven VC episode, Barry Winata (Managing Partner, Metagrove Ventures) and I explore life, leadership, business and investing through the lens of the overlooked backbone of the economy, logistics, supply chains, real-world ops, where context beats code. We dig into founder decision-making, AI’s real impact, and how an inside-out approach shapes durable companies and outcomes.

Through the Bee Formless™ methodology, we explored:

LEARN (Letting go)
✨ Leaving the 6-Figure Comfort Zone: why founders jump, and what you must release to start
✨ “I Don’t Know” (Yet): recognising context gaps and when to seek mentors & the right help

UNLEARN (Reimagine & reshape)
✨ Tech in Overlooked Markets: a logistics & supply-chain renaissance (why it matters now)
✨ AI × Startups × VC: reframing moats, risks, and the evolving role of capital & teams

RELEARN (Test & implement)
✨ Automate the Toil: design systems that free time/energy and lift whole-being performance
✨ Founder Support Stack: practical tips & tools for decision velocity and investor-ready execution
