"Peter Thiel on why the best businesses never compete: "Most people believe that capitalism and competition are synonyms. I believe capitalism and competition are antonyms." His point is simple: "A capitalist is someone who's in the business of accumulating capital. A world of perfect competition is a world where all the profits are competed away." Peter explains that the most important distinction in business is one nobody talks about enough. "There are two kinds of companies in this world.

"Legendary Sequoia Capital partner Doug Leone shares an unexpected take on what makes a great entrepreneur: "If you're desperate it's a great asset.

That kind of focus often comes from founders who haven't followed conventional paths people who have done "quirky things" and taken risks. Doug also reveals a "little secret" for spotting these founders: "We look for people that solve a problem that they have. They don't"

"Apple CEO Tim Cook has a counterintuitive philosophy for achieving excellence: stop following the rules entirely. "I think you should rarely follow the rules. I think you should write the rules." When asked about when it's okay to break the rules @tim_cook reframes the question itself as flawed. He explains: "If you do follow things in a formulaic manner you will wind up at best being the same as everybody else. Maybe you missed something and you're a little worse. And if you want to excel you can't do that." Tim has seen this play out repeatedly in business: "I've watched a lot of companies"
