• Whether delusion is needed to succeed as an entrepreneur
• Why the best training to be a successful entrepreneur is to fail first
• How it’s “disappointingly easy” to stand out as an employer that has empathy

On the Roadmap Episode Overview

“What it comes down to is you don’t need to see a path in the forest. But you need to enjoy walking amongst the trees to keep talking steps. I have failed more times than most people will ever try in their life because I enjoy it; I enjoy the learning… Now that we’ve successfully exited with lots of money, I wonder what’s next.”
