“No matter what phase of entrepreneurship you're in, you're trying to make it happen. And we all are, at some level, trying to be a bit bigger than we are.”

“Community is one of the best drivers of principles and guidelines. We use our community to help draft principles, shape operating activities, and guide good behavior.”

“At the end of the day, if you're serious about your work, find a place where you can be serious and feel a sense of belonging. There's nothing lonelier than trying to hustle every single day alone. Having a community of like-minded folks facing the same challenges makes it easier.”
