BEST MOMENTS
I'm a working class kid. I went through an orphanage and care, so I'm not ashamed to admit that I've worked hard and made money."
“In a world where we've had a technology explosion, now we've got AI helping us particularly, that should make people more productive, shouldn't it?"
"The first year is a research project, the first year is spending the money to find out if this is viable, that's what you want to find out as quickly as possible. If it means not having a shop front, not having any officers, not having a brief guy, just go and sell that."
"There are entrepreneurs from all ages, all backgrounds, all countries, all religions, whatever, but there are no lazy entrepreneurs.”
"Money and success, you know, it's a bandaid”.
