Get five or six of your smartest friends in a room and ask them to rate your idea.

The only way people will have the trust to give their all to their job is if they feel like their contribution is recognized and valued.

My approach is that you have to earn the respect of people you work with.

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.

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.
