Features / Mon 31st Dec, 2018 @ 3:00 pm
It’s Monday, and that means it’s time for the Intriguing Beings Podcast! This week Rou Chater sits down with Bill Tai, legendary venture capitalist kiteboarder of MaiTai fame. Rou and Bill chat about his incredible early career in tech and how that led to him being in the position to fund the companies of the future. They also discuss his passion for watersports and some of his early kite endeavours, he once owned one of Laird Hamilton’s kites!
Lastly, they talk about Bill’s focus on sustainability and protecting our oceans, not just from plastic but also overfishing. Bill’s recent philanthropic endeavours have given him a new focus. He’s busy trying to use his influence and network to effect a global change that we can all benefit from, but as you’ll hear in the interview, he needs every one of us to get behind it.
If you want a few takeaways from this episode, consume less, think about where your fish comes from and don’t just recycle, reduce your consumption of plastic in every way you can…
