My father is actually a quarry man - he deals in stone. He also at one point had a lot of sheep, he owned a sheep farm, but primarily the family business was in stone.

If you don't understand the details of your business you are going to fail.

Your mission is to find a product or service that can positively impact the lives of 1 billion people because that's the game we're playing today.
