We have perfected the art of finding problems without fixing real-world issues. We focus too much on complexity, not harm.
Being able to dedicate 100 per cent of my time to impacting more businesses without being operational, it just gives me a bigger platform.
I want to see one of my products being taken by people across the world. I want to see them improving and leading a better life. It's like playing God.
I don't work on a project unless I believe that it will dramatically improve life for a bunch of people.
I couldn't wait to get to the most powerful position, because I thought then I would be able to fix problems that only the leader can fix. But when I got there, I realized we needed revolutionary change.
Media is very different from financial services. People are very fickle and very vocal. They believe that things should be one way and not the other. It's still very rewarding to build products for huge audiences. It feels like you're making an impact.
The best ideas are the honest ones. Ones born out of personal experience. Ones that originated to help a few but ended up helping many.
With the way I worked, a client can give me everything they know about something, and then I go away and come back with advertising that knocks them out of their chair. They finally understand what kind of a company they are.
I like tackling problems that I can see making an impact on real people and real businesses immediately.
Top technologists have a tremendous capacity - and, therefore, a tremendous responsibility - to build things that make a positive impact on the world.
The skill-providers want to have more impact and solve problems; the problem people want new tools to get their problems solved.
