Authentic brands don't emerge from marketing cubicles or advertising agencies. They emanate from everything the company does.

I'm in a different position than most CEO's. I'm a founder. I'm not a hired CEO. Now, I can be fired by the board, but most CEO's are hired by the board.

I conduct my life with an expectation that people will do the right thing. Yet even with all my experience, I am still surprised when they do not.

Everyone must have a shot at the American Dream.

Success is best when its shared

I believe life is a series of near misses. A lot of what we ascribe to luck is not luck at all. It's seizing the day and accepting responsibility for your future. It's seeing what other people don't see And pursuing that vision.

You must find something that you deeply love and are passionate about and are willing to sacrifice a lot to achieve.
