The Only Reason I Was Able To Accomplish Things Is The Great People Willing To Work With Me. A Company Is A Group Of People Organized To Create A Product Or Service, And That Product Or Service Is Only As Good As The People In The Company - And How Excited They Are About Creating It. I Do Want To Recognize A Ton Of Super-talented People. Without Them, I Would Have Accomplished Very Little. I Just Happen To Be The Face Of The Companies.

We Should Err On The Side Of Caution And Do Something Now.
