I've always had a philosophy that position doesn't define power. Impact defines power. What impact are you making on people? What impact are you making on business?

I think that the CEO is responsible for setting the vision, for articulating the mission, and for building a team of powerful evangelists that share that mission and that passion, because no one person can do anything by themselves.

Imagining what the possibilities are versus what is right in front of me has been the second biggest factor in defining my career.

We all work really hard, and we do it because we're passionate. We don't do it because we're being rated. However, we'd all be remiss if we didn't think that some kind of recognition for efforts and accomplishments didn't make you feel good.

Some people think that your life changes for the worse when you become a father, but on the contrary, when my daughter was born, she brought light and joy into my life.

I mean, we are tribal by nature, and sometimes success and material wealth can divide and separate - it's not a new philosophy I'm sharing - more than hardship, hardship tends to unify.

I saw myself as an electronic joy rider.

The real metric of success isn't the size of your bank account. It's the number of lives in whom you might be able to make a positive difference.
