This is part 2 of my conversation with Toby Corey. If you missed part 1 you can find it here.

He currently sits on the board for multiple companies and lectures at Stanford on entrepreneurship. On part 2 of our conversation we cover a many fascinating topics including, why he has completely changed his mind about being an expert about one thing, the critical importance of building an open network, what he means when he says people should get off the Zombie path, the common mistake most people when they first get up, and why following your passion is actually the wrong way to think. We even explore the meaning of life the unanswered question of where our consciousness actually exists.
