      Advice: “People are always sold bad advice, and I feel there’s no simple maxim about it, life is a learning process, you gather information your entire life, and if you’re not, then you’re failing. I’m always honest with everybody and a lot of people don’t like it, but for some people it’s a real breath of fresh air.

      I think that the best thing that I could say to a person wanting to open a business is don’t open your business based on the idea that you’re going to make a cool place where people will want to hang out, because that never works, for anything or anyone. Just come up with a service that you think people need that people aren’t doing yet, and do something unique.”
