Other Quotes From the Chat with Brandon Webb:
- “Too many entrepreneurs, younger guys, want to shortcut it, they want to just get rich quick and it just doesn’t work that way, the real world does not work that way, even the younger entrepreneurs coming out of Silicon Valley, a lot of these guys are incredibly smart and talented, they’ve built a technology that maybe takes off and gets bought for major amounts of money at Google at face book, but people discount the fact that these entrepreneurs and founders put in so much hard work to gain the knowledge, because guess what, face book and Google they aren’t buying something unless it’s worth it”
- “I really hate it when people come to me and they ask for the shortcut or the tip or the hack, there is no problem learning from other people’s mistakes, absolutely no problem with that”
- “How is this technology going to affect me”
