I didn't originally think I would build something great. I wanted to try to build something useful, but I didn't think I would build anything particularly great. Probabilistically, it seemed unlikely, but I wanted to at least try.

Initially, I wasn't driven by a desire to be an entrepreneur; I simply wanted to avoid traditional jobs like working at a supermarket or scooping ice cream.

I was always interested in startups and didn't like the idea of working for someone else; I wanted to create cool new inventions and make a lot of money.

I started off making high-speed landing craft, which I only really used by the military and construction companies, and I really wanted to do something for the home.

The vision for my previous company was to use technology to make travel better, but it wasn't about improving the world.

I want to create the best videos possible, and while money is a factor, it shouldn't compromise my creativity or the quality of my content.

I wanted to take all the learnings from OnePlus and do it better with Nothing, but initially, the idea wasn't super clear and my seed deck was really bad.

I wanted to build a huge business, but I knew that with the technology I had at the time, I simply couldn't scale to a multi-billion dollar business.

I knew that if I could make my debt payments and cover my living expenses, I could afford to experiment with different business ideas until I found success.
