Most companies have a hard time telling their own story.

Founders

There is a great quote from Don Valentine, who's the founder of Sequoia.

Founders

He says, the art of storytelling is critically important.

Founders

Most of the entrepreneurs who come talk to us cannot tell a story.

Founders

Learning to tell a story is incredibly important because that's how the money works.

Founders

Founders

And you can do so by going to collateral.com.

And so I mentioned earlier that Andre has this bad habit of like reading all these stories about him.

Founders

And I think when you do that, especially as a public figure, this guy's one of the most famous people on the planet.

Founders

You're outsourcing the way you feel about yourself to a stranger that doesn't have your best interest at heart.

Founders
#411 Tortured Into Greatness: The Life of Andre Agassi

Obviously how you feel about yourself is most important.

And if you do need an outside perspective, you know, he has a small circle of people that he trusts, that he knows.

And it is amazing, especially because he's got this real fragile mindset at the time, how somebody else's opinion of him can absolutely destroy him.
