This is Andy Johns' story. One of the most powerful, deep and open stories we've covered so far on this podcast. He's been a part of 8 startups worth more than $1B as an employee, advisor, or investor. He worked at Facebook, Twitter, Quora, and Wealthfront where he was VP of Growth & Product and eventually became President. He's an investor in Robinhood (IPO), Webflow, and Reforge. And he's been an advisor to Opendoor (IPO), Poshmark (IPO) and Blue Bottle Coffee. He now spends most of his time advising startups on growth as well as making a contribution to mental health advocacy via his writing at andyjohns.substack.com.

But he left it all to heal from trauma developed in his childhood which stayed with him for most of his life. And now, this is his story. The open book version. 

Welcome to Vulnerable, Andy Johns.
