Investing in character and reputation is vital; a company can fail, but maintaining integrity is crucial for future opportunities.

If a founder is willing to do something unfair to make me happy, that's a red flag. Integrity is about having core values that transcend financial incentives.

I made a significant mistake by not investing in Facebook when I had the chance, which taught me to recognize exceptional founders without overanalyzing.

The integrity and authenticity of our business decisions are preserved because they are made collectively by the family, rather than by external stakeholders.

One key to startup success is not being overly driven by immediate financial gain; Mark Zuckerberg's decision to decline a billion-dollar acquisition offer from Yahoo exemplifies this principle.

I was very intentional about my choices and believe there are trade-offs in both paths of education and entrepreneurship; both can lead to valuable experiences.

The decisions that seemed like the worst business choices often turned out to be the best, especially when they were aligned with core values.

We chose not to acquire a competitor because I didn't like their culture; I believed our mission-driven approach would outlast their profit-driven one.

I realized that prioritizing family was essential, especially when I had young children, which influenced my decision to sell part of the business for $100 million.
