A lot of the best work I've ever done started out as something completely different because I gave myself permission to have space around my time and expectations.

You got to be careful to not get too comfortable with incremental improvement. I think sometimes you just got to jump off a ledge.

I'm a project manager, not a magician. Magicians have way cooler hats.

Everything takes more time than you thought, everything costs more money than you thought, and almost everything turns out not quite as cool as you expected.

If you need to appear on an internet list to know whether you're someone's friend, you may have problems a computer can't solve.

Email is such a funny thing. People hand you these single little messages that are no heavier than a river pebble. But it doesn't take long until you have acquired a pile of pebbles that's taller than you and heavier than you could ever hope to move, even if you wanted to do it over a few dozen trips. But for the person who took the time to hand you their pebble, it seems outrageous that you can't handle that one tiny thing.

Make the time to be scared of more interesting things.
