In this brief interview, the host asks Steve for the single piece of business advice he would give his younger self. Steve emphasizes that one should not let other people's opinions dictate personal decisions. He explains that seeking advice from individuals who lack knowledge about the specific subject can be misleading, especially after doing thorough research and gaining background. Therefore, decisions should be based on informed, personal judgment rather than unqualified external opinions. The exchange highlights the value of self‑directed decision‑making and the importance of gathering educated input only after doing one's own groundwork.

Steve, what's one piece of business advice that you would give your younger self?
Don't let other people's opinions allow you to make decisions about what you want to do in your life. What do you mean? Well, the fact of the matter is, is when you ask people, what do you think about this, or what do you think if I should do this, usually if you've done a bunch of research in what you're asking the question about, you have a little bit more background, and you're asking probably somebody who knows nothing about it, and their opinion shouldn't matter because they're not really giving you an educated opinion. And unfortunately, human nature is a lot of people people succeed more than they have.
So don't you ask for people's advice?
Well, yes, and you probably get a lot of different people's opinions, but it's sort of like watching two opposing television news stations. Neither one of them is probably really correct because they're both slighted one way or the other. So you have to take as much information and as many sources as you can, and you have to decide what you think is the appropriate move from there.
