A Collector's Conversation with Steve Jurvetson

In this episode, Rich and Jason speak to the alpha-omega space collector, Steve Jurvetson, who has arguable the most complete space flown hardware collection in private hands. A board member of Space X, Steve was an original investor in Elon Musk's journeys off-Earth. (In fact, he's owned the first production Tesla Model S, and the second production Model X, which he has since donated to the Peterson Automobile Museum.) Getting bitten by the collecting bug after buying some John Young items, Steve's massive collection now spans all programs and is primarily made up of unique, one-of-a-kind flown mission critical items such as parts of the spacecraft itself. Hear how he assembled his collection, his perspective on the types of items he collects, and how he decides what stays and goes. Steve co-founded Future Ventures, where he investments in trailblazing, purpose-driven entrepreneurs with unique, moon-shot ideas that have the potential to reinvent entire industries, and President Barack Obama appointed Steve as a Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship. With his mind firmly focused on the future, you will hear about how Steve leverage's the past to inspire and inform the next generation. Join the guys as they discuss everything from Steve's expansive office museum to secret, buried  space treasure in Houston!
