We talk about communication and pitching, particularly for startup companies, but what we discuss is useful everywhere. We talk about the 3 act structure of a story from Aristotle, as well as Aristotle's logos, pathos, ethos, chairs, and a 5th one that Giuseppi has added. He also shares a great exercise to make sure your pitch is well-balanced and thus effective. He shares one of the most important and overlooked of the Sequoia pitch guidelines, how people make the mistake of using the same pitch deck for all situations, and what you can do that is better, he shares a big failure and what he learned and I think you'll get why I'm such a fan of his!
