They are the customer. They understand it. It's coming out of some personal problem or experience. So they won't give up when times get tough. They'll power through. They'll iterate. They'll morph. Teams that are humble, self-aware, are able to recognize when they made a mistake and adapt versus constantly make excuses. This didn't work out. Let's blame the market.

Let's blame the circumstances rather than let's look at it. Will you invest in someone you don't like? Not anymore. Why not anymore? Because it just never works out. I think I have the luxury, the gift of being able to work with people that I really enjoy working with. And again, that's what life is about. It's about relationships.

The money doesn't matter if you don't have great friendships, relationships, partnerships, and love in what you're doing. It's like love is the energy that I think produces the best outcomes and the greatest results.

Non-obvious. It is very, very hard. Relationships, I think, force you, when they're good, to become better as a person. But in order to become better, you got to stick through the hard times, not give up. Do you think we give up too easily today? I think because we have more options than we have had in any moment in history, that increasingly we have the ability to switch and give up.

You go back in some moment of time, it's like you were in a tiny little village. If you're lucky, there was one person that you loved and cutting bait. I mean, where were you really going to go? You've had to stick through it. Now you could quit and you could say, okay, I'm going to trade this for something better. But I think the reality is every relationship comes with challenges.

It's just a question of which challenges. Once you stick through all the hard moments and you keep getting better and elevating, and then you look back and it's like with my wife, it's just like what we said about companies. Like all those challenges made us better. They brought us closer. We're stronger as a result. We're more resilient. The other day, I got into a little thing with my wife.
