33: John Durant

January 15, 2019 By Joel Runyon

John Durant an author and investor. He’s the founder of Wild Ventures and NYT bestselling author of Spartan Fit and the Paleo Manifesto. He’s also on my short list of people I’m petitioning to tweet more. I stopped by on my way through LA to talk about his story, the evolution from writer to investor and his first exit (Primal Nutrition – one of John’s early investments just sold to Kraft Foods for $200M – congrats John & Mark!). We also talk his fund’s unique angle on investing as well as his heuristics for evaluating potential investment opportunities.

I also let slip an early announcement about MoveWell (so keep an ear open for that :)).
