There are some key elements to business being a success, and that's a smart visionary and great management behind the people that are going to build it.

What I love to tell young kids is ultimately let your dreams evolve around your opportunities. You have to focus on always learning. It's cliche, but the reality of it is that if you take action and try and fail you're gonna learn a lot by the time you try it again, and you'll build a foundation of experience that's gonna be ultimately the rock that allows you to find success or follow your dreams.

Never undervalue the idea of partners. Understanding your strengths and then going out trying to find like-minded people who will be another pillar of your success.

If I liked an idea, even slightly, I would throw some money at it. I've had a lot of random things not work out that people don't know about.

For me, I'm a skateboarder.If I'm not skating then I'm going crazy. The big deals, if I'm not skating, it's not worth it.

Half of my success is my fearlessness and recklessness, of just seeing the end and not stopping until you get there.

I love everything I do and I can still remember the days of cashing my first royalty check for $2. I have such a great life, I'm proud of everything.
