From time to time, I've experimented with sculpture or metal design. It's a good break from just sitting behind the keyboard.

I try to absorb all types of style and design. I don't try and restrict my thinking. I enjoy the old and the new. You need that broad perspective to create something different.

I think a lot of people may have a unique insight or some idea that they feel could be a great solution for a particular problem, but for some reason never have a chance to try or never have the courage or maybe the self-doubt. Really, it's best just to remain naive and continue to work on things and see if people have the same problems.

The power of digital distribution over physical retail outlets is you have a chance to create a global audience.

I feel like there's a lot of noise in the social space. The Vines and Instagrams of the world are gaining traction, and their solutions are perfect for their communities.

YouTube and other sites will bring together all the diverse media which matters to you, from videos of family and friends to news, music, sports, cooking and much, much more.

When I started running cross-country and track in high school, literally every race was a failure.

Running helped me learn how to deal with failure, and failure is a big part of the Internet business.
