Highlights:
“If you’re sure you don’t want to go back to that work, then you can give your full focus and attention to the new thing you’re trying to build, and that creates momentum.” - 5:20 - Ellen Donnelly
“I do think there is something to be learned from that American-style self-belief and hustle. When an individual has that it allows them to take risks and put themselves in situations that they wouldn't otherwise.” - 9:45 - Ellen Donnelly
“I talk about Product-Founder fit; what do you, as a Founder, do better than anyone? The more you know yourself, the better you can run your business.” - 13:40 - Ellen Donnelly
“You can have the problem that you solve, or the product that you create, but you also need it to stand for something in the world that people can rally around. Then you get that word of mouth, you get that scale potential because people care about it.” - 24:10 - Ellen Donnelly
“Most people will, in some shape or form, work for themselves. Whether that's 100% of their week, or 10% of their week, the future of work is people using the tools available, using the fact that we don't work in offices 50 hours a week anymore to their advantage.” - 26:15 - Ellen Donnelly
