Ep 142: "Reimagining What’s Possible; From Teacher to VC" with Qiana Patterson

Entrepreneurial Thinkers with Rob Ryan

Do you want to know how the most progressive modern investors think? Do you worry about the cultural barriers preventing more diverse entrepreneurs from success? Do you want to know how to pursue your own highest potential?

Rob sits down with his friend Qiana Patterson; Venture Investor, Advisor, Educator, Yoga Practitioner, Mentor and Problem Solver, to discuss her life philosophies shaped by her considerable life experiences. It’s an inspiring journey from teacher to technology to investment and to whatever comes next in her pursuit of her best potential. Together, they explore the power of creative capital, the role of women in finance, and how amplifying underrepresented voices can reshape communities. From Los Angeles' vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem to actionable strategies for inclusivity, this conversation is packed with insights on turning challenges into opportunities for lasting impact.
