“The Nudist on the Late Shift” – Po Bronson

I am one of the odd ones. I have an accountant’s clinical calm around figures big and small; I don’t go weird around money, and people get less weird around money when I’m there.

In this day and age, some of us are lucky enough to be free to make what we can of the world. We have independent will at our disposal, and we have the urgent moral responsibility to exercise that will, not to follow in the steps of those held up as gods. There are no higher stakes in life, no higher ambition. That is the true spirit of entrepreneurism.

“In the end it comes down to will. This is my value added to this equation: I can’t code a lick and I’ve never contributed a creative idea, and though I’ve arranged funding, what I really add is the force of my will. My will to never give up and to make this happen no matter what.”
