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.

Additional quotes by Marc Randolph

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.

Because that 'wrong candidate' is going to tell everyone they know about their experience.

And you never know which of those future conversations will matter.

Perfect information doesn’t exist.

You’re always making a bet with incomplete data.

The question is whether you make that bet early, when the stakes are small, or late, when you’ve burned months and money protecting an idea that’s never been tested.
