Innovation in tech favors the naive and the stubborn. If you are too rational you won't tackle problems that others once failed at.

I tend to not discriminate when it comes to people I can learn from. Basically, if someone has built a meaningful business in software, technology or media, faced disruption and adversity, and overcame underdog status, I want to know how they did it.

A lot of being productive personally is determined by how you organize your entire business. You can't separate those two things.

I'm certainly not into money and prestige. For me there is simply nothing more exciting than people involved in the creation of great products. That is what drives me.

You'll learn more in a day talking to customers than a week of brainstorming, a month of watching competitors, or a year of market research.

There's a lot of pride that business owners have. It's actually really critical that pride and ownership extends to everyone in the organization. I think of everyone is in the same boat in driving the company forward.

The best technology is aimed far enough in the future that it stands out, but close enough to the present that it blends in.
