QUOTES

The biggest flip in my hiring was when I went from looking for positives, which is what you do when you're trying to grow talent, to looking for negatives, which is what you do when you're trying to select talent.

I'm a monopolist. If we were going to build a business, you have to be number one, and you have to have the lion's share of what you're doing.

Business is like a big puzzle to solve and understand. And it's an infinite game. It never ends.

Growing up, we didn't have pictures of our parents on the walls. We just had old math competition trophies.

If I have one superpower, it’s that I have super patience.

The fear of failure... is a bigger motivator than the love of success.

You've got to learn to enjoy failure if you want to improve things.

The people that make things that are a reflection of themselves — that's the most sustainable form of creation.

My co-founder has this line, which I've always loved: we've been spending all this time living in survival mode as a species, and now we're going to be living in creative mode. In creative mode everything's up to you. You have all the resources at your disposal. If you want something to happen, it'll happen. And the only question for you is what you want to make happen.

Anything can be turned into positivity and success, even if it starts in a bad place.
