In our desire to please everyone, it's very easy to end up being invisible or mediocre.

We live in a vague world. And it gets vaguer all the time. In this environment, the power of the specific, measurable and useful promise made and kept is difficult to overstate.

And it turns out that tribes, not money, not factories, that can change our world, that can change politics, that can align large numbers of people. Not because you force them to do something against their will. But because they wanted to connect.

People who can spread ideas regardless of what those ideas are, win.

I think the most productive thing to do during times of change is to be your best self, not the best version of someone else.

It might be bold to put your work into the world unadorned, but it's probably ineffective.

The object isn't to be perfect. The goal isn't to hold back until you've created something beyond reproach. I believe the opposite is true. Our birthright is to fail and to fail often, but to fail in search of something bigger than we can imagine. To do anything else is to waste it all.
