Other Quotes From the Chat with Josh Bremmerer:

And if you actually knew what it was going to take and the hardships you were going to encounter and the problems you are going to encounter you properly wouldn’t go. So, I think that things can only happen the way they happen on a lot of levels”
- “Perseverance… A refusal to give up, a positive attitude and hiring people who are exclusively smarter than you. You want to be the dumbest guy in the room always. If you can do that and you can persevere and you can take the hits and be resilient and keep pushing forward, I believe you can be amazingly successful”
- “In order to make good sound business decisions you need to be okay with yourself and you need to be stable. So not taking everything personally is probably the best thing you can do ”
- “Speed is safety… always pushing forward. Paul always has to be moving. If we can operate fast, effective and efficiently it will allow us to overcome some pitfalls along the way. And because in business time and money are effectively the same thing. You have X amount of runway and you need to produce X amount of revenue if you can move fast and deliver product fast and deliver samples fast you can overcome a lot of those pitfalls along the way ”
