Скачать или смотреть How Fortune 500 Founders Disrupt Markets, Outlast Cycles, and Navigate Crisis | John Ruffolo

In this short clip, John Ruffolo, Founder of Maverix Private Equity and former CEO of OMERS Ventures, shares clear-eyed lessons on resilience, purpose, and what truly drives founders who build lasting companies.

After investing $500M and backing hundreds of entrepreneurs across multiple tech cycles, John reflects on the pattern he’s seen again and again: the founders who win aren’t chasing money, status, or headlines. They’re obsessed with solving a real problem—one that keeps pulling them forward, even when the plan breaks.

Drawing from both his investing career and a life-changing personal setback, John explains why purpose becomes the anchor during disruption. Markets shift. Technology evolves. AI accelerates everything. But most challenges aren’t fatal—they’re tests of focus, mindset, and conviction.

In an era defined by rapid technological change and constant disruption, John makes one thing clear: enduring companies aren’t built on hype or shortcuts. They’re built by resilient leaders thinking long-term, staying grounded in mission, and pushing through uncertainty when others quit.
