I think naivety is interesting because you're thinking really hard, 'How the hell do I do this?' The experienced person might think they know how to solve it, but the naive person doesn't. So they're thinking much harder and more intelligently.

Experts are dangerous. There's an assumption that experts do things correctly or in the most clever way. It's not true.

I never imagined myself doing anything else other than starting a business. The idea just was in my consciousness from a very early age.

When you set a goal, you do it to success or failure, but you don't stop.

Satisfaction is a pretty dangerous thing. There's a kind of smugness to it, that I'm perfect and I don't need to do any better than this. I can relax. And I just don't think like that.

The person who's just starting out is probably incredibly enthusiastic and will put everything behind it and work all hours to make it work.

Most people want conformity. They value a reliable consistency of giving X amount of impact per second or minute. But what I'm interested in is this idea I never heard about before. It may be 55 minutes of conversation that honestly was completely worthless, and not that interesting for me.

Humans know what makes them feel most alive, and then they don't do it most of their lives.

The most successful companies don't have more lucky events. They just seize on that luck better than other companies.

It's got to be better. In my mind, it has to be better. I don't want to make a me-too product. I'm not motivated to do that, and I've built a team around me who are motivated to take risks and do something different and better always.
