The best advice I could give anyone is to spend your time working on whatever you are passionate about in life.

When employees tell you about their good ideas for the business, don't limit your response to asking questions, taking notes and following up. If you can, ask those people to lead their projects and take responsibility for them. From those experiences, they will then have built the confidence to take on more and you can take a further step back.

I truly believe that capitalism was created to help people live better lives, but sadly over the years it has lost its way a bit. The short-term focus on profit has driven most businesses to forget about the important long-term role they have in taking care of people and the planet.

I just think you need to spice up life every now and then with a bit of adventure and excitement.

Follow your instincts and live with the consequences.

There is no point in going into a business unless you can make a radical difference in other people’s lives.

It's so graceful to be blown by the wind, to go where the wind takes you. Just drifting over beautiful rivers in a balloon is perfect.
