The most important thing you can learn as CEO- one of the hardest things to do is, you have to discipline yourself to see your company... through the eyes of the people that you're working through. Through the eyes of the employees, through the eyes of your partners... through the eyes of the people who you're not talking to and who are not in the room.

Volatility and length, that's the value on an option. 10 years on a startup stock, that's a big valuable thing.

In life, you don't have a level of confrontation and the nonsense you run into when you're a CEO. CEOs aren't born.

You don't need every investor to believe that you can succeed. You only need one.

It's hard in daily life. It's even harder in management because it's the stress of the moment.

Sometimes an organization doesn’t need a solution; it just needs clarity.

If you manage a team of 10 people, its quite possible to do so with very few mistakes or bad behaviors. If you manage an organization of 1,000 people it is quite impossible. At a certain size, your company will do things that are so bad that you never imagined that youd be associated with that kind of incompetence.
