Burning Entrepreneur
When I was building my Internet of Things (IoT) startup, TransFabric, with my colleague Joe Nicholson, he recommended this book to me, and I really related to the energy and passion it embodies. I love the quote “If you aren’t standing on the edge you are taking up too much space”, though I prefer a modification of this that I saw with my skydiving friends “If you’re living on the edge, you’re taking up too much space, JUMP!”
I do think this book tends towards oversimplification, but the foundational message of do what you love and love what you do – and be so on fire about your ideas and your company that it sets other people on fire, too – is exactly what we should all strive for, and is what motivates us all when we are trying to change the world!
