giving home
For me, going home at 5:30 is as much about my own choices, but also giving my team those choices, too.

Consideration, certainly. But I would question whether he'll ever get in, in part because safety is a hard position for guys to get in at. I don't why.

It takes awhile to get people onboard. We're really happy with where we are.

It's a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing.

I want to go public because I have the right reason to go public - because the benefits outweigh the costs.

I started my business with my best friend from high school.

I save everything up until Sunday night because if I start sending emails on Saturday afternoon, then people have to start responding to me on Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning.
nbc outlets people phone poll proved provided results showing taken turning work
Outlets are turning away from phone polling, which can be problematic. For example, we did a poll for NBC around the Ebola crisis; we provided results in 24 hours. Their traditional phone poll would have taken a week to turn around. We're showing people we can do high-quality work: we've proved that with the work we do with the media.

I go home, I have dinner with my wife and kids, and after my kids go to bed, I'm back online doing stuff.
available desk grab informal lots minimum people restrict talk time waste
I just find that people can waste a lot of time in meetings, so I try to restrict meetings to the minimum that they need to be. But I have lots of time in my day where I am available to have informal conversations, where I grab someone to talk, and people can just walk up to my desk and talk to me.
great mission people
I really like the mission at SurveyMonkey, which is, we help people make better decisions. It's just a great thing.
great nbc using
The NBC using us on air is a great endorsement of quality.
broader bunch demand figure next people valuable
If you're an entrepreneur and you're starting a company, I think the first thing you do is you go and talk to a bunch of people. But then the next thing you probably should do is figure out if there's a broader demand than just people you know. That's where I think SurveyMonkey is pretty valuable to people.
