Most people will do more for other people than they'll do for themselves. My third company, but the first one that won, the one that made me a millionaire, the first hire was this guy named Andrew. And the reason I didn't give up is because he had a three-year-old at home and his wife was pregnant. And I knew, for me, no big deal if this thing fails. For him, it would have changed his life.
