Ten Internets ago, when PayPal was started, it was all these tools that no one had built yet to bring commerce to the Internet. My first startup used PayPal.

Let's not project our fears onto others.

Presidential campaign and White House are two aggressively separate things. They still think I'm the weird kid in the corner, so I don't have much power. But I'll definitely do something to help.

We didn't want to waste time by sending our volunteers to Republicans; we sent them to the undecided.

Crowdsourcing is the future. However, if you don't trust your users to build/create/upload awesome work, they won't trust you with their crowd capital.

I really think we have a future ahead of us where chat is obviously a big part of it, but I don't think the context of having that little assistant in your pocket is necessarily the only place where it will be.

All of this conversation about chat and assistance lays the groundwork for what I would look at as the future of commerce.

My entire career has been based around commerce. The Obama campaign was famous for raising boatloads of money online. My question is how do you make conversions better through mobile and e-mail.

If there's one thing about Chicago, we take care of our own.

TechStars offers a network, and being a part of that network is an awesome opportunity.

I never would wish technology failing on any sort of opponent or enemy.

Startupfest is a very positive conference. I think a lot of it has to do with how different culturally it is from other startup or tech conferences.

If you get a WhatsApp message, you're probably going to open it. That's the interesting thing.

When you read Trump's tweets or see candidates interact online like Jeb did with Hillary, you're like, 'Yes, it's just like my friends.' That's the magic.

When you have a good vision and a very large capability of impact, that's very powerful.

I programmed computers every day. And one of my favourite apps we built was this thing called Awesome Updater, that all it did is send you a tweet randomly that was like, 'Yo, you're awesome.'

We see these wonderful apps that really have changed our world in many good ways such as Uber or Airbnb, but at the same time, they're drastically changing the workforce. And they're changing them so much that the industries themselves are not able to keep up.

The thing about Snapchat is it is ephemeral, so you don't - it's not like a video that you post to YouTube and then everyone can see it. It's this video that you get to share this kind of very intimate experience again, this very kind of genuine experience with another person in a more one-on-one sort of way. And I really appreciate that.

Instagram is amazing, and I enjoy sharing photos there. However, I don't think it is where my photos will go to live.

Advice is always awesome because it never makes any sense when you compare it all together. It always contradicts other advice. I love advice.

I want to involve creativity more in technology and business. It is obvious that for us to be successful, a healthy relationship with creativity is needed.

When I give talks, I often quote from a button I received at a Google event: Always Be Creative. I use it to illustrate how important creativity is in technology and business.

I find that I often forget that people come from all over. In interfaces, products, experiences, and building for people, we always forget that people are not us.

Our goal is to solve a problem for the retailer, not to solve a problem for my ego - which is big.
