BEST MOMENTS
"The way I think about it is that the market is constantly moving, you have new technology, you've got new opportunities, you've got competition, you've got new products being launched, etcetera. And your job as an entrepreneur is to learn from faster than the market."
"I don't believe in solving for wealth, or I don't believe in going, you know, ‘wealthier is better’ and unfortunately, I think it's a trap which we can fall into."
"If we can be gentle on other people as well as ourselves, then we're better off, but the reality is that it becomes a trap if you dwell on those regrets and those things which are holding you back."
"You went 15 years making no money as an entrepreneur, raising 150 million pounds in the process."
