Other Quotes From the Chat with Chris Chancey:
- “we try to gather as much information as we can from those who have gone before us and mostly likely failed a lot and try to learn from their mistakes”
- “I want to fail as fast as I can so I can learn from that and hopefully improve and do it better and increase the probability of success. And so in some ways I think mistakes can increase and speed up the process of getting to your desired end result”
- “I probably rely a little less on my gut and more on the wisdom from others who have been there and are willing to be candid that I am just going to jump at my own instincts in most cases”
- “about humbition and I think that word comes to mind when I think about the secrets to success. Humbition – so there is this humble pursuit of working hard and ambition and really trying to achieve something and have a clear sense of what the goal is but doing that with humility and recognising that there is a lot of people involved that you have to depend on to achieve anything and it’s not going to be solely done in and of yourself ”
