Simon Sinek

Simon’s philosophies are truly inspiring. Start with Why and The Infinite Game are two of my favorite books. If every leader headed his advice, we would live in a very different world.

Tristan Harris

As the first ever Design Ethicist at Google, Tristan points out the important questions we must ask as leaders of technology companies. Is the experience we’re creating ethical?

Brad and Susan Black

Married founders that aren’t in it for the money. They saw the unhappiness of rich people while living in Pac Heights, San Francisco, and decided that was not the life they want.

Tim Brown

A great product (first ever all wool shoe) built for a great reason (environmental sustainability). Tim Brown put years of research into a game-changing product.

John and Bert Jacobs

$0 raised, private company, that has found great success while sharing that success with their employees and customers.

Tony Hsieh

Tony Hsieh is possibly the epitome of a humble, introverted founder that proves you don’t have to fall under the stereotypical CEO to be a great leader.

Fred Rogers

Fred Rogers truly created an organization around his show and philosophies. I think we should all stop and think “What would Mr Rogers do?” more often.

Ben Chestnut and Dan Kurzius

The founders didn’t raise any outside funding yet managed to build Mailchimp into a multi-billion dollar company. Out of Atlanta, Georgia of all places! They’ve proven you don’t have to throw money at a company for it to thrive.

Chris Field and Darby Wong

The Clerky founders are amongst the kindest I have ever met. Clerky is a phenomenal product that is genuinely helping people. They’ve proven that you can focus on building a great product, without pouring money into marketing, to achieve success.

"Shoot for the moon and if you miss you will land among the stars."

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea."

“If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

“You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.”

“I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.”

“[Man] sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

“You can easily judge a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.”

“The good thing about science is that it's true whether or not you believe in it.”

“Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.”

“It is important to view knowledge as sort of a semantic tree -- make sure you understand the fundamental principles, ie the trunk and big branches, before you get into the leaves/details or there is nothing for them to hang on to.”

“Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change.”

“Today is the first day of the rest of your life.”

“Before you die, I hope you discover inside ‘who I am, what I want, what’s my purpose, and when I breath my last breath will it be good.’ Will you go ‘that was great. I lived a great life.’?But you gotta ask yourself that question now.”

“A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”

“Attitude to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or do. It is more important than appearances, giftedness, or skill. The remarkable thing is, we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one thing we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitude.”
