The challenge with being an initiator of projects is that you are never, ever done.

Your drudgery is another person's delight. It's only a job if you treat it that way. The privilege to do our work, to be in control of the promises we make and the things we build, is something worth cherishing.

I don't think we have any choice. I think we have an obligation to change the rules, to raise the bar, to play a different game, and to play it better than anyone has any right to believe is possible.

The goal is to be on the hook, not to let someone else do the scary parts.

Embracing the fear of freedom, deciding to determine your own path, this is the work of a grownup.

I intentionally abandoned the hard stuff early on because not only do I think it's useless, I think it's a distraction.

The fatigue was there, but some people understood that putting it aside was the single most important factor in succeeding.
