Make money doing the work you believe in

I am a big fan of Kaz Nejatian (Opendoor's new CEO). In fact, I did one of my first interviews with him 2+ years ago that I still remember fondly to this day because of all of the hot takes:

"No one ever asks in as Shopify product review: “What’s the strategy of this?” Strategy is the least meaningful aspect of whether a product is great or not."

"Great products are built through continuous tinkering and adjustments. Every product that we love has been built this way."

"Many companies spend a lot of time deciding if they're measuring the right thing. We prefer to focus on building the right thing."

"A meeting is a bug that some other process didn’t work out."

"Imagine if Van Gogh had to paint Starry Night while perpetually being interrupted every 20 minutes. It's just not feasible."

Very bullish on Opendoor with Kaz in charge.
