I seek out a lot of advice from other CEOs.

Not having a clear goal leads to death by a thousand compromises.

My approach is that you have to earn the respect of people you work with.

Don't lose sight of user delight.

Get five or six of your smartest friends in a room and ask them to rate your idea.

You can manage 50 people through the strength of your personality and lack of sleep. You can touch them all in a week and make sure they're all pointed in the right direction.

The only way people will have the trust to give their all to their job is if they feel like their contribution is recognized and valued.

If you give people really big jobs to the point that they're scared, they have way more fun and they improve their game much faster.

I’ve grown a lot, and I’m learning every week.

I like to bet on people, especially those who have taken risks and failed in some way, because they have more real-world experience. And they’re humble.

We did anything possible just to get revenues so that we could grow and be a real business.

Getting stuck in the past and whining about who had hurt us hampers our personal growth and submerges us in the sea of self-compassion.

A single twig breaks, but the bundle of twigs is strong.

I think sometimes there are negative connotations for those who have a business mind as well as a creative side.

The Islamic State fighters in Mosul are dead men walking and I think they increasingly know it.

I don't even have a type! I don't have a physical type. I have an emotional type.

It seems as if when you try to do just one thing and nothing but, you can't do it at all. You do everything better if there's more than one thing.

Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different, it's accepting the past for what it was, and using this moment and this time to help yourself move forward.

Whuf added the dragon.

Jazz is a state of mind. There's no boundaries.

The real danger in life is not death, but living an evil life.
