Important Quotes:

“Leadership in general and championship or great leadership is really about having a strong sense of core values and ethics.”

“Some of the really terrible leaders that I’ve worked with have influenced me probably more than the positive ones.”

“Accountability without empathy is really just tyranny.”

“Transparency and accountability go together really strongly when you’re extremely honest with people.”

“For me success looks like running a company with the smallest amount of people possible that can grow rapidly, rewarding those people tremendously, and having a team of primarily really high performers, but keeping a tight knit, small team that can be highly efficient.”
