“Typically you know as a kid, or even an adult, where you’re sleeping tonight but when you are in the care system, and in prison as well, you can get moved overnight with no notice at all. So life becomes uncertain and you get used to that uncertainty. I think for most people, they avoid uncertainty but with a tech startup you don’t get much more uncertain than that so you learn to live with it. It just doesn’t faze you — you are comfortable with uncertainty. Most people aren’t, they crave certainty — they want to know what they’re doing, where they’re going and what’s happening tomorrow. Growing up in the care system, knowing you can get moved at any time and you might not even have time to collect all your belongings… I think that actually prepares you quite well for startup life.” Duane Jackson https://lnkd.in/dyJEc6w #startup #tech #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #founders #innovation …see more
