Quotes

Five substantial excerpts from the published transcript, lightly edited for clarity without changing their meaning.

1. “A six-month money-back guarantee may increase conversion, but I do not consider that unethical when I stand behind the product.

Only after meeting that standard should you think about techniques that make someone more likely to buy.”

   From the conversation

2. “Build something that improves humanity, whether it helps clean the oceans or helps one person live a better life. My guiding principle is to develop products and create things that make the world better. I believe more people and businesses are moving in that direction and becoming conscious of their effect on the Earth.”

3. “People can identify inauthenticity very quickly today. You may need to look the part in some situations, but you do not need a million dollars to present yourself well. Know your audience, do not become overwhelmed by technical details, and concentrate on delivering genuine value.”

   From the conversation

4. “Begin a story by revealing that something people may not know about you changed the course of your life and explains why you are committed to paying it forward. Those first sentences create curiosity. Then introduce the difficult or unexpected event that shaped you, your work, and the reason you serve others.”

   From the conversation

5. “Even in a saturated market, begin by creating something valuable.

Saturation does not eliminate opportunity when the contribution is useful and distinct.”
