Quotes
"It's about being comfortable with uncertainty or being comfortable with being uncomfortable at some point, if that makes sense and not taking things too seriously, too personally whenever there's feedback, whenever something is not going because you get used to failing. And I think it's good to get used to failing as a startup in the beginning because you need to run a lot of tests, so you don't become, I think it made me less risk averse, to be honest. It made me more experimental." - Kiyanusch Braun
