MEMORABLE QUOTES

[00:06:46] “If you’re right there when people want something, then you are setting up to really want to do something.”

[00:25:22] “Entrepreneurship is like staring the abyss and chewing broken glass broken glass.”

[00:27:09] “It’s the being able to manage your emotions in the context of failure….And that again, the notion of persistence, the ability to fail and keep going, the ability to just reconfigure, to pivot, to go to look for something new, to create not to shut down.”

[00:29:27] “It seems like entrepreneurship it’s almost like a middle-skill. It’s not just a particular skill. It’s you know, it requires a whole bunch of different skills and requires a high level of Activation energy, being able to lead yourself and pursue.”

[00:36:21] “ To think about what someone needs, when it hasn’t been completely expressed, takes a tremendous amount of empathy.”
