Women in my world are respected as much as men.

We live in a world where you're not being eaten by a lion when you fail, you just have to get another job.

Most people have an aversion to risk, my college economics professor told me. Which means they have to be rewarded to take on that risk. The higher the risk, the higher the possible payout has to be for people to jump.

Friendships and marriage are far more potent than financial conflicts.

The payouts for starting a business are just terrible when you account for risk. A tiny minority of entrepreneurs ever get rich. And the majority of entrepreneurs would probably make far more money, and have more stable personal relationships, if they just worked for someone else.

Best startups generally come from somebody needing to scratch an itch.

I dont claim to be a journalist. I hold myself to higher standards of transparency and disclosure.
