– Aside from teaching money and
marketing tricks do you have any regarding love? Isn’t that cute? – Yeah, it’s adorable. – My advice on love is very
similar to my advice on, I actually think
my business advice is actually my life advice. If you really unwind it. I think 51/49 really matters
and that’s more relationship now than love. I think that, I always say
the magic is in the gray. I think that’s how love is. It is not calculated. It’s just going to happen in a lot of times in a lot of ways. I actually think all the advice
I give actually executes to a love genre. I think the relationship
part’s more interesting to me. The 51/49, the listening and
counterpunching, a lot of those things the way I think
about customer and business relationships are very much the
way I think of the relationships in general. That’s how I’ve rolled. As far as the falling in love
part, the serendipity, it’s very similar to the things I think
about business where you can’t control what you can’t control
and don’t be crippled by it. That would probably
my biggest advice. Got any love
advice married man? – Yeah. – How long have
you been married? – Going on four years. – That’s awesome.
– Yeah. You want someone
that’ll just complement, that’s an addition to you. My wife is
everything that I lack. I’m being so romantic but
it’s in so many ways it is the cliché that
everybody says it is. I look at my wife and she’s
capable of so many things that I am not capable of that
why I need her in my life. – Sure. I married my mom. – [India] Yeah.
– You married your mom? – Yeah, my wife and my mom have
a lot, a lot of similarities other than my wife is very
organized and structured and my mom’s not. Other than that a lot of
their personalities are similar. – [India] Interesting.
– Yeah. – [India] They say a lot of
guys end up doing that, marrying their mom. – I think the mom is the North
Star for guys they go either hard core to the
left or the right. My dad married the anti-mom. – [India] Maybe it’s
again a generational thing. Maybe it skips.
– It skips. Alright, let’s go India.

“a cofounder who isn’t as ambitious as you?” – I’d break up with them. I think that if you have a cofounder that’s not as ambitious as you are, you’re leaning to an inevitable breakup and I would try to cut it earlier so that feelings aren’t as deep. It’s easier to break up with […]

“a cofounder who isn’t
as ambitious as you?” – I’d break up with them. I think that if you
have a cofounder that’s not as
ambitious as you are, you’re leaning to
an inevitable breakup and I would try
to cut it earlier so that feelings aren’t as deep. It’s easier to break up with
somebody after three weeks than it is after three months than it is after
three years, right? And so there’s less baggage. Now, the cofounder may be so
talented and brings you value that maybe you don’t have
to judge them on ambition. But I would say that when
you and your cofounder are not aligned, you’re headed towards a negative and so, I would
communicate first. I’m giving you the finish line
but what I would start with is I’d be like, “Hey India,
can we have a coffee?” – Sure, yeah. – So, listen, I really think
– [India] (laughs) – that I have bigger
ambitions for this business than you do and I’d like
to talk to you about that. – That’s probably true. – Yeah, it’s definitely true.
– [India] (laughs) – And so, I think you
have that conversation. One of the things
that it’s led to, and I’ve given
this advice a lot, is that India and I who
started off at 50/50, India recognizes that and
sees that I’m putting in 18 hours a day and
she’s putting in seven. And she may say, “You know what, “I still want to
ride that train. “I believe in us, I can’t do
that, I’m not as ambitious, “I don’t have as much
energy, I don’t want to, “I have things at home
that I want to do, “dah dah dah dah dah. “Maybe I should give
you back and now, you have 70% and I have 30.” And so really, there’s
always a deal to be had. If the deal ends
up being 100/zero ’cause I don’t value India,
even at 30, or even at 20, or even at 10, or even at zero, well then you have to break up. But everything in life,
every relationship, you know, boss and employee,
boyfriend and girlfriend, partners in business,
cousins, Mom and Dad, every relationship on Earth
is predicated on communication and you have to have the backbone to step up and
actually have that conversation and have it in
a truthful manner. And it’s super scary
and a lot of people are intimidated by it. And I’m not, it took me a
long time to get good at it. I still don’t always
get great at it but, it is the only answer
to this question. It’s about having the
conversation and seeing where the things fall
because a lot of times, the other person doesn’t
want you to bring it up. They may, you know,
recognize it. Sometimes they
don’t even recognize it. Some people are blind
and lack self-awareness. So, you need to make
sure you’re connected in whatever that arrangement is.
