In His Own Words

"When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor."

"Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough."

"I think it's very important to have a feedback loop, where you're constantly thinking about what you've done and how you could be doing it better."

"The first step is to establish that something is possible; then probability will occur."
