“Every company, regardless of size, is competing for the same pool of talent, which is why top recruiters can even command equity for finding key hires. Internships give startups a chance to hire the best and brightest from our universities at a fraction of the cost that these same minds will command when they receive their degrees.”

“In my experience, there are only two valid reasons to take a company public: access to growth capital and investor fatigue.”

“My job is to hire the best and brightest employees and empower them to do their best work. As a manager, I am not a mind reader nor an expert at every job function. Therefore, it is incumbent on all hires to feel empowered to tell me what resources they need to do their job.”

“I truly believe the brightest days lie ahead for the Great State of Hawaii.”

“I am sure that everyone will immediately discover how much 'The Brightest Void' and 'The Shadow Self' are entwined with each other but, at the same time, are two independent records which stand on their own.”

“I wasn't necessarily the brightest in my family. I think my older sister was probably more clever, but I worked very hard.”
