1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 John Vrionis looks, on paper, like many other VCs - educated at Harvard, University&amp;nbsp;of Chicago, and Stanford GSB - mentored by founders of funds like Benchmark, Kleiner Perkins, and Sequoia. Yet, for all the ways John might seem &quot;normal&quot; for a VC, this conversation focuses on all the&amp;nbsp;ways he is different. As the name implies, Unusual Ventures celebrates their differences. John gives a granular look at many of the behaviors and values that make his firm unusual in this candid chat with Next Play founder&amp;nbsp;Ryan Nece. His background as a hard-charging soccer player results&amp;nbsp;in his penchant for quick hitting&amp;nbsp;one liners to explain his core values. Phrases like, &quot;if you're comfortable, you're not learning,&quot; and, &quot;he who chases two rabbits catches neither,&quot; provide a glimpse into the wealth of experience this seasoned investor has for any founder or VC looking to break into the world of venture capital and startups.
