- Jason lost everything after the 1987 stock market crash hit his dad's bar business.
- This personal setback shaped his resolve to never accept failure passively.
Riding High Then Crashing
- Jason was on top of the world with a $12.5 million revenue magazine business.
- The dotcom crash decimated his revenue, forcing him to lay off 80 people.

- The biggest reason startups fail is founders giving up, not running out of money.
- Invest in founders who are indefatigable and will keep adjusting to succeed.
