Randy Komisar: Company-Building Lessons from Steve Jobs to Kleiner Perkins | Discover Possible Podcast

In this powerful and timeless conversation, legendary entrepreneur, investor, and teacher Randy Komisar sits down with Andrew Schreiner to explore what it really takes to build meaningful companies—and a meaningful life. Randy shares lessons from an extraordinary career that spans working alongside Steve Jobs, helping guide the acquisition of Pixar, founding and leading multiple technology companies, teaching entrepreneurship at Stanford University, and serving as a partner at Kleiner Perkins. Rather than focusing on money or titles, Randy makes a compelling case for integrity, optimism, and people-first leadership as the true foundations of entrepreneurial success. In this episode, you’ll learn: -Why optimism and “naïve zealotry” can be an entrepreneur’s greatest asset - The difference between investing in companies and building them - Why integrity—not certainty—is the most powerful compass in business and life - How great mentors (including the legendary Bill Campbell) shape extraordinary leaders - Why real success is measured by alignment with your values, not conventional metrics This conversation is especially valuable for founders, MBA students, leaders, and anyone wrestling with big career decisions—including when to walk away from a “safe” path to pursue what truly matters. If you’re interested in entrepreneurship, venture capital, leadership, or discovering what’s possible when you live and build with integrity, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
