Fred Destin is co-founder of Stride.VC and one of Europe’s most respected venture capitalists.
Over two decades, Fred has backed some of Europe’s most iconic startups, but this conversation goes far beyond business. Fred shares his deeply personal journey, revealing how he moved from hyper-performance to presence, from stoicism to stewardship, and from capitalism’s speed to life’s flow.
We explore:
- The myth of mastery and the illusion of success
- The collapse of narratives and the Dark Night of the Soul
- Shadow integration, self-love, and healing the father wound
- Capitalism, AI, and the moral crisis of speed
- The future of technology, trust, and regenerative venture
- Awakening to awe, humility, and systemic consciousness
Fred’s reflections are disarmingly honest and profoundly human — a map for anyone seeking to reconcile inner transformation with systemic change.
Hosted by Alex de Carvalho and Rudy de Waele, Voices of Emergence brings together thinkers, builders, and creators exploring how new systems of meaning, leadership, and regeneration are emerging through us.
