49. F a i l u r e i s n ’ t a n o p t i o n f o r y o u . But here, you’ll make a mistake or two. You’ll sweat, and stretch,
and be pushed beyond where you ever thought you could go. We force you to be a better you, a more
innovative, inspiring, impactful you. You won’t just perform, you’ll transcend. All we ask is that you be willing to
take gargantuan risks, chase insane dreams, creat e m o n u m en t al ch an g e, have each other’s back. And listen to
your heart and gut as much as your head. When you do, you’ll transform yourself, inspire others, do amazing
things, and, yes, have some fun. That’s how we turn a t i n y r i p p l e into a r o g u e w a v e . Vulnerability equals victory. Fearlessness
equals fruitfulness. The world’s biggest issues can and will be solved by e n t r e p r e n e u r s with the courage to shift.
Better you. Better us. Better all.
