Key Points:

Quotes:

  • “You can fail at stuff a few times, and it's okay. You can pick it up and try something different.”
  • “Nobody knows what's going to happen, and so it makes a lot of sense to position yourself to thrive no matter what. “
  • “Business is better than charity if you want to do effective things right because money is a strong indicator of whether you're doing the job well or not. “
