 Quotes

"Stay true to your vision. It's a tricky line to walk because you want to really have conviction about what you're doing, but you also want to listen to feedback. And so if you are hearing the same thing over and over again, it's a tricky line because you hear about the founder that had 60 rejections and then finally got the 61st investor that said yes. The flip side of that is the person who's very stubborn and can't listen to feedback and ends up running their business off the cliff. And so I think there's a nuance there of when do you really stay gritty and stay perseverant and be confident in your own vision, but do that in a way that you're also able to be humble and listen to feedback." - Scott Hartley
