The first rule (of investing) for me is don't have rules. You find one amazing investment and that's all that matters. If you pick the right body of water, you might not need a boat.

I need to aspire to be a great CEO and not just a great product engineer.

I think you're defined as a company by what you choose to do and what you choose not to do.

I seek out a lot of advice from other CEOs.

From the beginning... I wanted to build a company that could sustain not for two years or four years or even ten years but be something that really matters over time the way Amazon and Google and others have.

There are people who want the comfort and structure of a job where they're given tasks and told what to do. I think it's actually a minority of people. The majority of people don't want that, but I'd say that the companies I've built are full of people with something to prove.

I like to bet on people, especially those who have taken risks and failed in some way, because they have more real-world experience. And they’re humble.
