Born in a small town Kansas

Wanted to go to NY

Harvard gave him great experience

Develop the ability to think as well as working hard and mastering your craft

For developing friends: physical proximity, repeated unplanned interaction, and environment to be vulnerable

Work long hours in career and build relationships with new people

Don’t know how much they don’t know. Gives you an opportunity to fail and learn

Funds of his all went to zero

Absolute value instead of relative value

Interested in government and public goods. Bringing more technology into those areas

Bitter sweet exit

Thinks it's hard to have work/life balance

Most really successful people that he knows make work their life

Choose your friends selectively
