I don't have a crystal ball, but if you can ever put yourself in a situation where you are indispensable - where you aren't part of what looks like a fad, but you actually are a company, a brand that people trust and go to - at this point, you could put some of the mainstays of tech on anything, right?

Alexis Ohanian
It's a lot easier to convince uninformed people than it is to convince politicians.
Alexis Ohanian
If I'm at the University of Georgia and I can't inspire this room full of students, OK, fine. I'm not going to take it personally. Maybe a little bit, but I'll be all right.
Alexis Ohanian
Nothing will replace good journalism.
Alexis Ohanian
We all have great ideas. No one ever says, I've got this terrible idea.
Alexis Ohanian
Even if you have no interest in starting a company, having the experience of having ideas and doing them, that's muscle to exercise because that's what people are going to want to see. That's what makes you different.
Alexis Ohanian
I think everyone should learn how to code.
Alexis Ohanian
If you want to succeed, you've got to be okay to just lose control.
