This time, with Jax Vullinghs from Airtree Ventures interviewing Kim Randle, Co-Founder and CEO of FairSupply about her early influences, how she fell into law and being inspired by a movie, what led to co-founding Fair Supply and problem they’re tackling, tireless enthusiasm and being a founder + parent.

In this special episode #134:

We have a special guest host in Jax Vullings from Airtree Ventures. We tried this format earlier in the year with another investor in James Tynan from Square Peg, guest hosting episode #121 and it was well received so we’re doing it again!

What you’re about to hear is a special conversation where Jax and Kim Randle unpack important topics very candidly including Kim’s early influences, how she fell into law and being inspired by a movie, what led to co-founding Fair Supply and the important problem they’re tackling; tireless enthusiasm and being a founder and parent.

I hope you enjoy this great conversation, and if you have ideas for other iconic duos we could bring on in a similar format, send me a note.

It’s now time to explore your curiosity. Please enjoy!
