"Ben's book — Hard Things — it was the first emotionally honest book about business that was ever written. And that's why founders love it. That's why I love it. Cuz you read it and you're like, 'Wow, I'm not the only one that's anxious and feels like a failure and can't tell anyone what I'm going through.' Ben went through it, too."

"Conquests and Cultures is my very favorite book. It's Thomas Sowell, and it just talks about how conquests have led to culture change in different societies around the world. Sometimes positive, sometimes negative. To me, it's just the best historic view of culture as the biggest driver of outcomes."

"Still read Hamilton Helmer and all that stuff still applies. Yes. Love this book. I feel like there's only five real business books in the world. Every other one is in the business of selling business books, and they're fake. And his is on my list of five."
