Olympic Gold Meets Startup Grit - Leadership Lessons From Volleyball Legend Kerri Walsh Jennings and Eventbrite CEO Julia Hartz
"Be original. So often, we are all trying to be someone else. You want to create specific, unique, and memorable inroads for people who love this sport. Uncharted territory is an advantage: No one has succeeded in doing this yet, and that's actually a virtue."
"Knowing what we know about this business, what would we do if we could do it all over again? By the meeting's end, they had a one-page plan. Let's go build that company."
"Endure. Enthusiastic endurance is what every business leader is actually seeking. You don't need to be strategic. For 20 years, I have tried to build systems to be more strategic, and every single time I have failed."
