Being an Immigrant is the Ultimate Entrepreneurial Experience Momchil Kyurkchiev "In Bulgaria, there's a folklore character named Hitar Petar, or Clever Peter, akin to Robin Hood. Clever Peter relies on his resourcefulness to succeed, and there are plenty of stories that showcase his wit." What Are Blockchains and Distributed Apps Really Good For? Jeremy Liew "But there are many instances where trust is solvable in other ways. One example is when the transactions are between a smaller group of market participants who transact with each other frequently, e.g. the settlements of stock trades. In most instances, the big investment banks know who they can and can't trust, and how much they can trust each other. Just before Lehman went under, other banks stopped trading with them because they knew that they could no longer feel confident in the counter-party risk." How Do I Get the Biggest Bang For my New Investment Buck? Ian Perry "Hire the wrong person and it will likely take three months to discover the error and a further six months to rectify, find a replacement and get them up to speed." The Case Against Entrepreneurship Paul Murphy "When you start a company, and get any reasonable level of a traction, you end up building a team. While it's fun and rewarding to build and grow strong teams, your goal in doing so is to make them succeed. Everything you do is about the team succeeding. This makes sense, you need them to scale and hit their goals. Your wins become theirs, and their losses become yours. I subscribe to this style of leadership, it's what good leaders have to do. However, after a long period of time you start to miss out on the dopamine effect you would otherwise get as an employee."
