Today's episode is a fascinating conversation with Nicolas Colin. Nicolas is a co-founder and Director of The Family, an investment firm whose mission is to support purpose-driven creators in their efforts to bring value to society. He also publishes European Straits, a weekly newsletter analyzing European technology as an asset class.

Nicolas is a unique thinker and this conversation is a reflection of that. Some of the topics we cover:

• The thesis of his book Hedge (and how it stands today).
• How COVID-19 is accelerating the need for new institutions.
• Why "How Europe can be more like Silicon Valley?" is the wrong question.
• Europe, the United States and China.
• The role of government in innovation and what we can learn from city states.
• And much, much more.
