Robin Singhvi
[17:47] "Being a solo founder, you get to choose your own path, make things happen your way."
[20:20] "When the company's doing well, when it's soaring, when it's hitting new heights, that's when it needs lots of love and attention. It's not when they're struggling."
[22:46] "So having these team members and building a culture that enables them to sort of propose new ideas and approaches… It's like the Avengers, right? It's like having a group of superheroes that you're trying to get together with different superpowers, all working towards the same goal."
Matt Wolach
[19:49] "I have a college degree and I've learned so much more being a founder, being an entrepreneur than I did back there. So it's pretty amazing."
[23:31] "A lot of my mentors told me, use your resources, because I would try to do everything myself… And it's really important to understand that you don't have to do everything yourself. In fact, it's better if somebody else can focus on that while you focus on other stuff."
