#169 Mark Goldstone: Pharmacist, Copywriter, Investor

Mark Goldstone has worked for more than 25 years in the healthcare/life sciences industry.

He has a passion for technology, new “stuff” and all things creative.

Currently based in New York City, Mark spends his days working as the General Partner of Forepont Capital: a performance-focused venture capital firm that invests in early-stage life science companies.

Mark began his career as a pharmacist with the UK retail giant Boots before his love for writing led him to a new career in advertising as a copywriter — which has unexpectedly led him to where he is today.

In today's conversation we talk about:

The value of learning how to write well
Why "Big-Pharma" isn't all bad
How to deal exponential change in a fast-paced world
And the successes/challenges faced along the way
