The thing about trust: you can lose it in thirty seconds. Getting it back takes forever — if it comes back at all. - Marc Randolph

Assume the best.

Assume people will fulfill their promises.

That they will hold up their side of the bargain.

That they will also want a win/win outcome.

Don’t hedge your bets. Don’t cover your ass. Don’t use a lawyer. Leave yourself open to being taken advantage of.

99% of the time you will be amazed at what trust and vulnerability unlocks.

1% of the time you’ll be taken advantage of.

So worth it.

You’ll learn more in one day of doing than in a month of thinking about it.

The best candidates have options.

They always have.

They always will.

The question isn’t whether they’re good enough for you.

The question is whether you can convince them that you’re good enough for them.
