I've been very lucky, from the beginning. I've found that as long as you're fundamentally good - as long as you're not being bad to people - people give you a lot of room to be yourself, because being yourself is being honest. And that's what people want to see.

Local commerce, without question, will be one of the fundamental use cases enabled by mobile devices over the next several years.

I'm weird. But I'm a pretty serious person.

I think if there's any difference between me and a traditional CEO, it's that I've been unwilling to change myself or shape my personality around what's expected.

Most small business owners are not particularly sophisticated business people. That's not a criticism; they're passionate about cutting hair or cooking food, and that's why they got in the business, not because they have an MBA.

If dandelions were hard to grow, they would be most welcome on any lawn.

If you have a great business, if you're great at your craft people should be coming in there. It shouldn't be this secret.
