Must-listen moments: 

[00:03:03] To me the purpose of capitalism and entrepreneurialism is you reap the benefit, the money and lifestyle, from creating value in the world.

[00:07:20] Everybody can be entrepreneurial, and it doesn't mean that you're always in learning mode or exploration mode, but you have to find a balance between execution, doing the things that we know must be done, and taking time for the learning.

[00:19:05] You're literally trying to get your first dollar because somebody has just proven to you that you're providing them enough value that they're gonna give you something. That's the first step and the steps become bigger after that.
