‘If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to gather wood, divide the work and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.’”

Hiring Philosophy

Curiosity is portable.

• Intellectual curiosity is more valuable than domain expertise. Those that are curious can become visionaries in almost anything.
• Diverse input combined with rigor lead to insight.

Nothing is more powerful than collision.

• One of my core beliefs in life is the power of collision. Whether that be the collision of ideas, people, contexts or an amalgamation of them all, history is littered with examples of the magnificent breakthroughs and insights produced from the interdisciplinary collision of information.

Kill the Cat

• Insight and breakthrough occurs from the collision or interdisciplinary information. Curiosity is the force that puts such collision in motion.

Give, give, give.

• Give more than you get. If you exercise that muscle you eventually gain more pleasure in giving than receiving. That is powerful.

Write, write, write.

• Writing holds you intellectually accountable. It requires substantially more proof of work than speaking does. As such, you are forced to dive deeper into topics before opining. Writing is the best tool for learning — as it forces you to teach yourself and explain a topic to an audience.
