Max built Gumloop with no fallback plan: banned from the US for five years after quitting Microsoft, he had nothing to return to. He stayed focused, coding instead of networking, and set out to build something exceptional enough that investors and hires would come to him.

There were a hundred reasons not to start, and he chose to prove other people wrong instead, while embracing criticism. Stay away from people selling dreams. In the midst of the information era, Max’s perspective offers realism. There is no shortcut. It takes, as he says, “blind confidence,” so just build.

Keeping the human touch in the important parts and automating the repetitive things is the way to go.
