"I read this book by Jim Collins a while ago and it had this chapter on return on luck and it really resonated with me. The thesis is the most successful companies don't have more lucky events — they just seize on that luck better than other companies. I read this very early on as a founder and I started to notice it was true."

"Another book, Turn the Ship Around by David Marquet. I adopted that very heavily in my leadership once I read it because it worked really well with my autonomous leadership style. The basic idea in intentional leadership is if I ask someone 'Should I do this?' they'll be pessimistic. But if you say 'I intend to do this,' people don't offer their opinion unless it's very wrong. It's a very small change in phrase but it has all the difference in your ability to move forward."
