On Entrepreneurship

  • You can be a good person and a good businessman.
  • Be collaborative by nature. Give first.
  • As Steve Blank taught me, facts live outside the building.
  • You must feel to be able to listen.

On Building a Team

  • Lead with empathy, always assume good intent.
  • Give your trust first. Don’t make others earn it. Then ruthlessly defend the trust you give.

On Life

  • Show up, like really show up, every single day.
  • Be obsessive about being consistent.
  • Hard choices, easy life. Easy choices, hard life.
  • Remember that you will not be remembered.
