However, there's nothing more inspiring than a company that does solve problems and those problems are captured as part of a larger story.

For example, I wear clothes I buy at trendy shops because I don't care much about clothing. If someone wants to create a trend around clothing, I'll happily and blindly follow.

I would have to say that my mother's entrepreneurial perspective, and that of her father's, are very evident in my own outlook.

I think small groups have more collective wisdom than an individual.

If the workers don't keep themselves current - with some assistance and guidance from their employers - then the workers who are in the legacy roles will have to be removed. That's what's so difficult.

I believe that only a subset of us is meant to lead. The rest want to follow.

The work I'm doing today gets me one step closer to the work I should be doing tomorrow. And that the way I learn this is by trying, failing, networking and experimenting. I'll stop doing that when I'm dead.
