You have to get uncomfortable in this World often to grow. The ability to find and embrace adversity before it organically finds you is a replicable mechanism for creating opportunity. At the corner of terrified and excited is truly an incredible place to be. Find it often and continue to get more comfortable with the uncomfortable.
Myles is an Indy native hailing from the IU Kelley School of Business and has spent all 17 years of his career in both building and investing in technology companies. Most recently, he served as the Head of Portfolio Success at High Alpha Innovation and launched Omnidollar, the first ever global syndicate in the State of Indiana where he has participated in early stage investing & advising. In addition to building and investing, he has spent 4 years as an EIR & Mentor at one of the most successful Techstars programs in the World.
