WORST MOMENT

They were working with an outsourcing team for 3 months. They
missed the deadline and didn’t even get halfway through the
product. They were debating on whether or not they should pay
them and the outsourcing team ended up not giving the code. 3
months wasted.


 
HUGE SUCCESS

Making it to the end of 500 startups.
Entrepreneurial Superpower

Ability to motivate people and building a team that is motivated.
Kryptonite

Sometimes I jump around too much and not focus on one thing long
enough.
IF YOU CAN HAVE ANY SUPERPOWER… When you are
snuggling with a girl and your arm goes numb, have a superpower
that would make your arm disappear for that moment in time. When
you say something stupid, freeze time and rewind 15 seconds.
