dictated, unscripted. lightly cleaned up. highlighted parts were extended by my editor-in-silicon and approved by me.

in life we spend a lot of time preparing for what we will do, and very little time doing it. we study all year for examinations that last three hours.

the worst part with ventures: there is no fixed examination date. i see a lot of startup founders just mucking over their product again and again, fixing it again and again — just like me. instead of fixing the distribution aspect.

because if distribution is nailed down, product is something that can — and of course will — be developed over the tenure. that realization took me a lot of time to get.
