- The ability to say “No” starts from scope clarity.

- Use attitude, stamina and grit to brush off every setback.

- A company’s success relies upon its employee’s willingness to achieve whatever needs to get done.

- Raising capital from the right set of investors is important to blossom in the long run.

- Deciding on board members solely based on who wrote the largest check, without having the long-term interest of the company in mind, is a poor way of setting up a governance structure.

- The Founder’s diet is comprised of getting punched in the face for breakfast, kicked in the stomach for lunch, body slammed for dinner, and then you got to wake up the next morning with the big smile on your face, get on the camera, and go back at it again.
