"Time is our only precious asset. We pretend that it's money, we pretend that it's material goods…but we could all disappear tomorrow. If this moment isn't a positive, constructive moment for us, it's wasted."

Life & Career Milestones
My path in life has been direct
1.
After graduating from Brown University, he simply followed his interests; did everything from teaching economics to promoting rock concerts.
2.
He started to feel pressure to "get serious," so he decided to go to law school at Harvard University.
3.
It didn't take him long to realize that law was not the path for him, but he continued with it anyway.
4.
He worked as a lawyer for Apple for a few years, then decided to branch out to help companies strengthen their brands.
5.
Slowly transitioned into taking the risk of starting his own companies; helped launch TiVo and WebTV.
6.
Today, he describes himself as a "serial entrepreneur" and has carved out a niche for himself as a "creative free agent."
7.
Now his life looks much more like it did when he was just following his interests; he's involved in dozens of projects.
8.
Among them, he's written a best-selling book called The Monk and The Riddle, and he teaches entrepreneurship at Stanford University.
