When you're doing something you're passionate about, stress becomes a featurenot a bug.

My dad is a chemical engineer, and my mom was a teacher. They were pretty serious about education, but I always thought about things a little bit differently.

You intentionally start small, because you will not be able to compete with an incumbent... because the incumbent is always going to go for the full solution.

All we're really doing is repeating technologies that were tried 10, 20, 30 years ago... it's just that it was too expensive, too unusable, and we didn't have the enabling technologies to make it possible.

Better to be too early and have to try again, than be too late and have to catch up.

Innovation is hard because solving problems people didn't know they had & building something no one needs look identical at first.

Start with the assumption that the best way to do something is not the way it's being done right now.
