As a child, Catharine Dockery slept on a floor for 5 years. As an adult she is the founding partner of Vice Ventures, armed with a sum total $75 million dollar venture fund designed to combat the problematic perceptions and developments in vice categories of business like sex work, e-cigarettes/nicotine, psychedelics, and more. Deeply embedded in Vice Venture's strategy and DNA is a personal (and business) mission of harm reduction -- reducing chemicals in vapes, providing proper care in psychedelic experiences, safety & health in sex tech, changing federal regulations and more -- all charting an unprecedented future in business and society. On this episode we walk through her relentless refusal to lose, being a self-taught entrepreneur, navigating complex industries, surprising data points, and creating happiness through her work.
