• Top maxims from this episode: 
  • “Never sacrifice quality for speed.”
  • Focus on one thing and do it better than anybody else
  • Always be raising the bar; the best are never satisfied 
  • Praise costs nothing but means everything 
  • Stay in the game long enough to get lucky 
• “Nothing ever happens unless someone pursues a vision fanatically.” – Todd Graves 
• Entrepreneurs have something to prove; they want to prove that their vision about the world is right  
• The word ‘delegation’ is used way too much in business; trust your instincts and keep working in the details 
• Take more risk and hold onto your equity so that your dream remains in your possession 
• The best entrepreneurs treat every ‘no’ they get as fuel 
• You want to work with people who are more concerned with contributing to a high-performing team than with titles or pay 
• Money will come when you do things for the right reasons 
• The best investors are not investors; they are entrepreneurs that never sold 

Todd Graves is one of my favorite living founders. He owns over 90% of Raising Canes — a business that is worth at least $20 billion. Todd's maxim is "Do one thing and do it better than anyone else." It is impossible not to be inspired by his terminator levels of determination. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.
