When you first start working for me, directly for me, I micromanage until I trust you.

I hate politics. It's slimy. Any job where people pander for votes I don't like. The country has gotten so partisan that if you're not on my side, you're the enemy.

Money is a scoreboard where you can rank how you're doing against other people.

It's not in the dreaming, it's in the doing.

If given a choice between investing in someone who has read REWORK or has an MBA, I’m investing in REWORK every time. A must read for every entrepreneur.

I don't care what anyone says. Being rich is a good thing.

Them pains, when blues pains grab you, you'll sing the blues right.

When students write from experience, they can breathe those specifics into their writing- dialect, odd smells, precise names of plants- that can animate even the most tired and tedious text.

Dive headfirst into things without being too attached to the results
