Julia Fedorin(@juliafedorin):Michael Blau (@blauyourmind) went from the investment team at @a16z Crypto to CTO at Royal, working with is brother. Something he learned was... "A great team with a bad idea will always beat a great idea with a bad team. The great team can figure it out, pivot, build something new. Our ideas don't matter, we just need the best, most flexible people around us." And if he wasn't in tech? He'd have his own parlor magic show on the Las Vegas Strip. He's been doing card tricks since he was 12. And that dream isn't going anywhere. What would you be doing if you weren't in tech? Full convo below.
