1. “The issue for us at the time was that we took people away from the investment in our core product to go do those other things. We moved people, right? And so the trap there is that you leave yourself right for disruption in your core because someone else can outest you in that core. And so if you're the leader in some core product, our takeaway here is you should continue to outinvest everyone else in that core and then invest the profits that come out of that core into the next venture, like invest profits and not people or venture capital, which is maybe like net present value of profits or something to that effect. But don't take people away from the core to go to these other things because then you end up distracted.”
