If you had to distill 28 years of business knowledge, what would you say? Stay with things longer than you think you should. If you have something you sold, sell it again. Sell it again. Sell again. Run the play. Don't work with people that you don't vibe with. If your spidey senses are going off, honor them and trust them. Hire the soul you train for the role. Never be the bottleneck. And the way you're never the bottleneck is understanding. There's only four things you have to get good at, which is understanding, Content, Collaboration, capital, code. That is the most potent description of everything I've learned in 20 that if you truly double clicked on each one of those will absolutely transform your whole life, not just your business.
