There are 3 things I look for when I hire people. Are they smart? Do they get things done? Do I want to spend a lot of time around them?

M&A negotiations feel really fun. This is one of the biggest killers of companies, is they entertain acquisition conversations.

It's become popular in recent years to say that the idea doesn't matter.

I really believe that the single hardest thing in business is building a company that does repeatable innovation... and just has this ongoing culture of excellence as it grows.

Or a way to stay on strangers couches, that just sounds terrible all around.

... and you can only have 2 or 3 things everyday, because everything else will just come at you; you know fires in a day.

If someone is getting every decision wrong, that's when you need to act, and at that point it'll be painfully aware to everyone.
