“In two words ,hardcore commitment. When you are in your 20s you generally don’t have children, aren’t married, and don’t have a ton of other commitments. This means you can focus on your career and much more importantly the education that you can get to make yourself more valuable. This is simple stuff, but the fact is some of you will choose to put in minimal time for a paycheck that finances your life as an artist or your social life. That’s totally cool, but don’t kid yourself. You will not get ahead as a professional doing that. If you want your career to move forward with velocity you need to be all in. You need to be thinking about how to make your company better all the time. You might even wake up in the middle of the night with a new idea. That’s a good thing. It show’s you’re all in.”
