Summary

Kevin Rose has lived the dream of many aspiring Internet entrepreneurs. His businesses have been prescient and successful, and as an angel investor he has bet on major players before they were big: Square, Twitter and Uber, to name a few. But Kevin’s successes as the founder of Digg and Revision 3 weren’t due to shrewd calculation alone-- they were built on a foundation of habits that anyone can duplicate and use as their own foundation.

In this episode, we’ll look under the hood at how Kevin derives joy and excitement from the unknown, and how to get started on scaling your own ideas.

Enjoy!
