Be fearless and don't be afraid of failure. There is no better way to learn than through trial-and-error.

I put together an iPhone app called TrimIt and released that in July 2011. About a month later, the private fund of the Hong Kong billionaire Li-Kashing cold emailed me and expressed an interest to invest, but they didn't realize I was 15. They thought it was a U.K. company with a team.

I’m a bit of a design enthusiast, and like spending time with my girlfriend and mates.

There is a generation of skimmers. It's not that they don't want to read in-depth content, but they want to evaluate what the content is before they commit time. Especially on a mobile phone - you don't have the phone, or cellular data, or screen size to be reading full-length content.

It's the scale that Yahoo brings - and that user base - that I really want to build products for.

I don't feel like a different person. My motivation has always been to do technology apps and companies, not making money. Just because the money's come, nothing's changed.

Be fearless and don't be afraid of failure. There is no better way to learn than through trial-and-error.
