How do you know if you’re making
a good investment?
We’re excited to have Joe Briggs
join Lauryn Williams on the podcast to continue our Venture Capital
series.
Joe earned his undergrad degree
on a football scholarship at Texas Christian University. When a car
accident ended any chance he had of playing in the NFL he continued
his studies earning a Master's degree at Florida A&M University
and a law degree from FSU College of Law.
Joe has more than 20 years of
experience in public policy, education, and advocacy on the
national landscape. He is also an angel investor and small business
owner, leveraging capital through TJC Ventures towards interests in
the sports tech space. When he is not advocating for your favorite
athletes he is likely teaching, speaking and training youth and
aspiring change-makers on subjects ranging from politics to sports
and everything in between.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
- An important lesson he learned as a child watching his grandfather work as fruit picker and why he’s carried it with him all these years
- Why he started looking for college scholarships while in elementary school
- His surprising path to a college football scholarship
- The importance of doing your due diligence before making an investment
- What he does so he can be willing to invest and risk losing money
- What an “investment thesis” is and why every investor needs one
