I'd rather invest in an entrepreneur who has failed before than one who assumes success from day one.

Unions are about the collective leverage, the power of numbers versus the power of capital.

I'm proud to be on the CBC and to see the management here represents both sides of every story. This is what's unique about the new CBC: you get a Kevin O'Leary on it when five years ago you wouldn't.

You'd rather own gold; not the miner

Imagine how foolish you'd look if, like one clever salesman who once pitched to me, you tried to license your product to a big industry player without knowing they just launched a competing product. With the right background research, he could have avoided that and other landmines - and so can you.

I like gold because it is a stabilizer; it is an insurance policy.

I have great people working for me now. I surround myself with smart people.
