Career Risk That Pays Off with Brian Jorgenson | CV Podcast

Описание: In this episode, I sit down with Brian Jorgenson to talk about career risk, long term thinking, and why relationships matter more than almost anything else in business.

Brian shares the story of moving to Boise with no job, no clear plan, and a willingness to simply meet people and learn. We break down how making genuine connections without an agenda opened doors, shaped his career, and ultimately led to his role at Capital Eleven.

We also go deep on how venture capital, private equity, and M&A actually intersect, what Brian’s role looks like day to day, and how early career professionals should think about optionality, reputation, and patience when building a career in investing.

This conversation is for anyone considering a bold move, navigating career uncertainty, or trying to understand how the investing world really works behind the scenes.

Topics we cover:
Moving to a new city without a job or safety net
Building relationships without transactional intent
Brian’s role at Capital Eleven
How VC, PE, and M&A connect in practice
Career risk, long term bets, and professional optionality
