You always have to know what business you are in. Everybody thought we were in the basketball business. It's an NBA-team; we are not in the basketball business. We are in the business of creating experiences and memories.

It comes down to finding something you love to do and then just trying to be great at it

I'm scared shitless of heights.

You learn in life that a lot of things are the result of effort, but some things, in terms of scale, are random.

Information is power. Particularly when the competition ignores the opportunity to do the same.

What does it take to be a successful entrepreneur? It takes willingness to learn, to be able to focus, to absorb information, and to always realize that business is a 24/7 job where someone is always out there to kick your ass.

But we have to ask ourselves, what's the purpose of the stock market? It's supposed to be a source of capital for growing business. It's lost that purpose.
