I think a lot of people may have a unique insight or some idea that they feel could be a great solution for a particular problem, but for some reason never have a chance to try or never have the courage or maybe the self-doubt. Really, it's best just to remain naive and continue to work on things and see if people have the same problems.Collection: Courage

To some extent, being an entrepreneur is a lonely journey.
Me, personally, I don't upload video to YouTube.
I think the success around any product is really about subtle insights. You need a great product and a bigger vision to execute against, but it's really those small things that make the big difference.
YouTube is becoming much more than an entertainment destination.

When I started running cross-country and track in high school, literally every race was a failure.
Running helped me learn how to deal with failure, and failure is a big part of the Internet business.
Facebook and Twitter have a ton of information they're trying to make sense of.
I think a platform such as YouTube has to respect local laws and customs.
YouTube and other sites will bring together all the diverse media which matters to you, from videos of family and friends to news, music, sports, cooking and much, much more.
Video gives people a voice.
There's always going to be a place for YouTube.
Whenever you're the leader in any industry, you get more headlines.
People want to see something authentic. If it's too polished and highly produced, people might not trust it as much. If it's grainy, if it's coming from a webcam, if it's someone standing there and talking their mind or sharing their thoughts, people trust it much more.
Unfortunately, I think YouTube is going down the route of rewarding the select few around content creation, be it with partnerships or with ways of funding original content.
Content begets content.
I love video.
People think about the world of TV and the world of online video as being different ways to distribute video. But what happens when every TV is connected to wi-fi with a browser?
When people are making the decision to put a piece of content online, they really do truly want to get it in front of the largest audience.

Everyone wants to be recognized.
The telecom industry pretends like it's not getting paid.

You launch a site, and you see what works, and you continue to make it better.
I look at building business as a creative process that I enjoy.
In the Internet world, especially in Silicon Valley, everyone is at the ready all the time, and turnaround is relatively short, if not instant.
As long as I can remember, I was drawing or trying to create something.
I was one of those kids who took apart their toys to see how they work, just to see what they were made up of.
There's something very satisfying about creating a tactile product.
I'm an NFL guy.
When you have a group of engineers and designers, they are not exactly the best to deal with copyright law.
The one thing with the established and traditional media industries is that whenever something new comes along, they don't know what to make of it, and the natural reaction is to fight it or push back.
The iPad - is that a phone or a computer? If I put it on my wall is it a TV?
