 KEY TAKEAWAYS
In a start-up business you need someone who is open to new experiences, who seek to do things in a different way and explore new methodologies.
As your business grows, your company requires a team built upon people who wish to build systems and processes that can allow scale to occur.
There is a real value in "brainwashing" - the art of making sure yours is the mind against which everyone else's minds yield. The great ones so far have included visionaries such as Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.
The next big trend is in "interconnectedness" - the relationship that is growing between every touchpoint in our lives, and connecting them to create a seamless technology-based experience.

BEST MOMENTS

'I straddle this weird spectrum - on one hand I'm very low on politeness but I'm also open to new experiences'

'It has to do with understanding the competitive environment globally. There's no such thing as a free lunch!'

'Our job as an entrepreneur is to have that vision'

'When you consider all these things, that's when you can get in front of that "hockey stick" growth'
