Higher education is a business that doesn’t know it’s going out of business.

Those back-to-back experiences confirmed what I already knew: That I was a shitty-ass employee and I'd better start my own business.

I was a beast in college. I worked hard and I played hard. I was relentless learning about business. I actually snuck into MBA classes my freshman and sophomore years. I wanted to challenge myself to see how I compared to the smartest kids at Indiana University so I was 18 and pretended I was an MBA student.

In my opinion, right now there's way too much hype on the technologies and not enough attention to the real businesses behind them.

Don't start a company unless it's an obsession and something you love. If you have an exit strategy, it's not an obsession.

I'm always afraid of failing. It's great motivation to work harder.

I daydreamed for motivation. I didn't lie to myself and talk about my passions and how if I was passionate enough about something I could be successful at it.
