Joe Lonsdale > If nobody is angry at you, you might not be doing much

Quote from Video

One of my favorite signs on the old defense secretary of Romansville. He had a sign on his desk and it said if nobody is angry you, you might not be doing much. You know, you do you subscribe to that? Oh, totally.

PayPal recruitment strategy > network-based hiring of top technical talent

Quote from Video

Actually, it's a good question. People don't ask. So Palencer, we had a whole playbook when we started that, you know, Paler hired a lot of the top talent. And so you'd have your fellows, you'd have your spies, you have your advisers... you just have people who are young, smart, technical people who are social and they're there and they're mapping it out. They're helping you meet the right people.

Silicon Valley > US Government

Quote from Video

It became really obvious to us that Silicon Valley, Google, PayPal, all these things that were going on out there were just way ahead technically of where the government was at that point. This was a problem because the government was spending $38 billion a year gathering data, looking at the data, failing to stop the terrorists but also abusing our civil liberties.
