If you don't start updating it, your phone starts to lag.
That's when you need the new software update.
Your life works the exact same way, but before you can update it, you need to delete the old one.
So to delete your old software, we need to follow these rules.
Our first billionaire rule, laws are meant to be broken sometimes.
Travis Kalanick, who is the founder of Uber, was one of my first investors in my company Flowtown.
And we used to spend time in the jam pad watching him build the first version of Uber.
And what we immediately saw Travis face with
was all the taxis in the city that were threatening to sue.
Every time somebody took a ride, it was illegal.
Travis just didn't accept that.
He had a vision for the future.
He didn't just break the rules, he changed them.
By 2017, over 36 states passed new laws for ride sharing, not because the industry asked nicely, because Travis made the old rules irrelevant first.
And my belief is very simple.
If everybody had to follow the letter of the law, then no business would ever be started.
But obviously, consult your lawyer.
I'm not responsible for what you choose to do.
But just so you know, every day I get one or two tickets on my car for where I park.
I pay the fine.
