“There are no rules. And I use it like and I’d tell people at business school, this as well, who are in finance or consulting, there’s this formula that you can run through to make that career jump. And you do X, Y, and Z. It’s going to give you some results. Whereas in entrepreneurship, there are formulas that you can follow. But you have to break down those walls because when there are no rules, then you get to define what the world then sees or how they perceive certain things.”
