Before dreaming about the future or marking plans, you need to articulate what you already have going for you - as entrepreneurs do.

If you don't start out aiming for the big game, you almost never can get there.

Companies hire a lot during boom times because they're trying to adequately accelerate into the future.

I get energy from one-on-one conversations most often, and I lose energy from group conversations most often.

Because in our boom times, everything is growing, usually, you know, the kind of things that come to mind are Wild, Wild, West, or land grabs, you know, these sorts of things, in order to make something, you know, kind of to grow into the future and to get all the growth that you need to have. So you tend to hire a lot because you're running fast to the future.

Donald Trump has shown that he will essentially attack individuals, make Second Amendment jokes.

At Silicon Valley, I'm extremely sympathetic to the revolutionary response. I not only agree with it emotionally. I agree with it practically. And the only thing I disagree with is, I don't think Donald Trump is that. Trump is blow it up for no good reason at all. You want to actually do revolution with a target, with an idea, with building a new system.
