2. Entrepreneur Talk
Mark Pincus (Founder of Zynga) at Stanford University - October 28, 2009
"One lesson that I hope to leave you guys with is, if you want to go be entrepreneurs is, set your real goals early... I thought my goal when I had started my first company was to have a great return for my investors and I did. And then I thought my goal with my second company was a sustainable business and we did. And it wasn't until I started Tribe that I realized, started getting on my real life path, which was to create an internet treasure, and what I realized that I had not achieved and what I wanted so badly was really immortality...We want to do something that changes the world."
