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.

I think that any reporter or columnist will be a little more careful when doing interviews with me.

The idea that growth equals profitability is a misconception. If you can't afford the financial or qualitative side of growth, it can just as easily put you out of business.

We all have a history of digital texts, posts, messages, reposts/tweets that are sitting out there and can be used by anyone for any reason.

Ideas are easy. I've never met a single person who didn't think they had a world class idea. The hard part is making it a business.

Being rich is a good thing. Not just in the obvious sense of benefitting you and your family, but in the broader sense. Profits are not a zero sum game. The more you make, the more of a financial impact you can have.

I can turn an idea into a business before you know it's going to be important. My first step will blow by you.
