What's your favorite non-business book?

Contact by Carl Sagan

What words of advice would you give your younger self?

Place smaller bets sooner. Trust the judgment of your smartest friends. Don’t make Type 1 decisions hastily. Being right is not the same as being effective. A clever crow always paints his feathers black. You can’t ignore a sunny demeanor.

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