At Netflix, I had a rule that drove people crazy: every person who came in for an interview should leave dying to work there—even if we knew in the first five minutes we weren't going to hire them.

Additional quotes by Marc Randolph

The main thing I’ve learned in 40-plus years as an entrepreneur is that nobody knows anything.

Nobody knows if your idea is good or bad. You don’t know if it’s good or bad. You need to test your idea, trial it, collide it with reality.

That’s the only way to learn.

You’re always making a bet with incomplete data.
