The biggest (and hardest) lesson I've learned in life is that the external world is just a reflection of the world within.

Launching a business is kind of like a motorboat: You can go very quickly and turn fast.

I view my role more as trying to set up an environment where the personalities, creativity and individuality of all the different employees come out and can shine.

Your personal core values define who you are, and a company's core values ultimately define the company's character and brand. For individuals, character is destiny. For organizations, culture is destiny.

For me, my role is about unleashing what people already have inside them that is maybe suppressed in most work environments.

Happiness is really just about four things: perceived control, perceived progress, connectedness (number and depth of your relationships), and vision/meaning (being part of something bigger than yourself).

Never accept or be too comfortable with the status quo, because the companies that get into trouble are historically the ones that aren't able to adapt to change and respond quickly enough.
