Times Of Economic Crises Can Change What The Competitive Landscape Looks Like, Because When, For Example, You Have Boom Times, Capital Is Easy To Come By, Growth Is Easy, Sometimes What You Focus On Is, You Know, How To Accelerate In The Boom. During Economic Crises, The Question Is, The Companies That Come Out Of, You Know, That Are Sailing Through That With The Best Liquidity, Both Assets On The Balance Sheet, Making Money, Ability To Grow Their Businesses, Get A Disproportionate Competitive Advantage.

Everyone, You Know, During Crises Times, Is Much More Focused On, Okay, How Do We Get The Boat Completely Seaworthy, Sailing Along Well, And Everything Going Well? And So As Long As You're Communicating How The General Strategy Of The Company And How The Work They Can Do To Add To That And To Make That More Successful And The Thing That They Can Contribute To That, That Is Generally Very Motivating For Employees In Crisis Times.

Probably The Biggest Mistake That I Made Personally Is I Knew Early On That I Wanted To Go Into Start-ups And Creating Kind Of Software That Could Help Change The Lives Of Millions Of People. And Basically What I Did Is I Kind Of Went, Okay, Well, I Need A Set Of Titles And I Need A Checklist Of Skills, And I Ran Through All That, And That Wasn't A Useless Thing, But What I Didn't Realize, And, You Know, And No One Gave Me The Right Advice For Doing This, Is That Actually Your Network, In Essentially, Is Your Career.

My Greatest Influences Are Actually Probably A Set Of Different Teachers. And These Teachers, Most Prominently At My High School, But Also A Few Others, Helped Kind Of Instill In Me, Thinking Thoughts About How Life Is Meaningful In Terms Of How We All Kind Of Live In A Network Of People And How You Interact With Those People Is Part Of What Makes Life Essentially Meaningful And Then Kind Of Concepts To Think About, How Do You Add Value To Other People's Lives? How Do They Add Value To Yours? And How Do You Kind Of Form A Community Together In The Network?
