Description
Leaving an established corporate gig to branch out on your own can seem daunting, and for many, the risk remains too high.
In today's episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius chats with Jeffrey Schox, general partner at Trucks Venture Capital, and the founder of Schox Patent Group, a boutique patent firm focused on startups. Jeffrey started his career as an engineer on the original electric vehicle at General Motors before becoming a patent attorney for two of the largest patent law firms and eventually founding his own firm.
You'll learn about Jeffrey's unusual background, from following his parents in the automotive industry to eventually striking out on his own as a patent attorney.
You'll discover the power of giving and accepting help, and why passing a potential client to a more-qualified friend resulted in a flood of much-needed business for his struggling new firm.
You'll learn why timing is an essential tool in determining the viability of an investment, whether it be in an invention or a company.
You'll also discover Jeffrey's knack for taking a complicated idea, product, etc. and teasing out the differences to determine its future value.
Join Darius and Jeffrey as they discuss the entrepreneurial path, timing and the power of giving and receiving.
Topics include:
A little of Jeffrey's background, including his work on the original electric car at General Motors and his eventual shift to patent law
How handing over a potential client to a more qualified friend ended up being paid back in spades for his struggling firm
Why an understanding of timing is vital when assessing a company / product to invest your resources in
And other topics…
