"Try to learn a dollar's worth of lesson for every one you spend in failure."

— Jesse Robbins

Eric Ries quoted me in his Venture Hacks guide to Five Whys: try to learn a dollar's worth of lesson for every dollar spent in failure. The line came from Amazon GameDay practice.

Eric quoted me in his Five Whys writeup on Venture Hacks; the pulled line is the failure-as-learning maxim I used to repeat about Amazon GameDay.
