    Q&A
    If money were not an issue, what would you be doing right now?

    Between family and kite surfing, I am crazy about helping people grow their business. I like to eat, and drink good wine. Honestly, I can't complain.

    What words of advice would you give your younger self?

    Plan. Separate strategic and operational thinking. Work with the smartest people. Keep learning. Learn in areas you are weak. Be a better person, spend time on it, do it. Balance your life weekly. Be happy, maladjustment is poor leadership.

    What's the most creative thing you've ever done?

    Start a company from nothing and build it.

    Which founders or startups do you most admire?

    All of them.

    What's your super power?

    Recognizing talent and drive. Doing the hard stuff and sweating the details, when no one else wants to.

    What's the best way for people to get in touch with you?

    Email

    What words of wisdom do you live by?

    Too stupid to quit, too stubborn to die.

    What aspects of your work are you most passionate about?

    Every piece if it.

    What was the most impactful class you took in school?

    Sorry, not a huge fan of formal education, even though I am a victim of it.

    What's something you wish you had done years earlier?

    Quit school and started a business.

    What's an obstacle you've overcome?

    Throwing away whatever false narratives I believed when I was younger.

    What's the most useful business-related book you've ever read?

    Too many to list. Read everything you can.

    What's your favorite non-business book?

    How to kite surf.
