QUOTES
Matt: “Whatever the things I thought being pissed off about, I instead felt right at home, and this sounds so silly, as a failed entrepreneur.”
Matt: “I wasn't a FinTech entrepreneur, but to other entrepreneurs, specifically, FinTech entrepreneurs, which was important, it was a recognition that institutions have something to learn, and a recognition to entrepreneurs that they have something to teach, and something to learn.”
Matt: “If you are not a jerk, you will find that you can create commonality, discover commonality in a group of people, even if you don't find agreement.”
Rob: “That's why I think it's so important. When I talk about a career path, let it be, it's okay to be nonlinear. It's okay not to have it figured out from 24, 27, or 32, or 40.”
