I thought about what $100,000,000 really looks like. I thought about the people who have to lose, for anyone to win that big. And I thought about tech millions and startup millions, and the little people.
I realized it’s often very true. When that much money is made, there’s often another story, somewhere. The story of the other little companies and dreamers who tried and failed and were broken by their failure.
Small businesses turn into big business in the blink of an eye. Big business can transform the world, with phones and laptops and cars and buildings and — these days — rockets.
People win and lose. Big money comes, and big money goes. But what really counts is the way you think about what you’re building and what you’re doing. What really counts is how much you care about people.
