When I say fake it till you make it, you gotta hustle like a duck: on the surface you are cool, calm and collected — underneath, you are hustling and you're running hard.

I was literally in my living room — I think I was in the fetal position — telling my wife, I don't know what's gonna happen here, because we were running out of cash.

I get a kick out of it personally — I think disruption is fun. If you get a lot of pushback from incumbents, that probably means you're onto something.

Within 12 days, we executed a 65% RIF. Probably one of the hardest things I've done personally in my professional career. We exited three of our five markets, and did a 97% down round. Basically just to survive.

I think the lesson that we've taken certainly is that product building and engineering resources are probably the most sacred resources for most startups, and hiring bodies to solve problems generally is more cost-efficient and also results in a better product.

If we don't get to this milestone in May, you have my full permission to go start looking for another job, because it's not going to survive.

The best way to get information is by putting a bet out there and seeing if it works or if it doesn't, adapting quickly and moving on.

If everything seems under control, you're just not fast enough, moving quickly enough.

A lot of companies, they don't they're not complacent because they're lazy. It's because they're scared.
