How do you deal with failure? What is your secret when something doesn’t work out the way you expect it to?

Failure is a part of everybody’s life. If you’re not failing then you’re not trying. I think nobody has a perfect batting record.

My hardest professional life experience was watching Whittman-Hart go under. There were some mistakes made internally, the market was timed poorly. If you want to learn how to lose a couple of billion dollars in the market cap, I can write a book on that. Yeah, I joke about that but that’s how some people remember me if you want to learn how to lose three or 4 billion in market capitalization. But the bottom line is if that didn’t happen, I wouldn’t be where I’m now.
