Quotes to ponder:
"The practice of putting theories into business models will reveal weaknesses in the idea, or demonstrate that it's so good you can't wait to act on it."
"Not every idea is monetizable, and that's okay."
"If you want to change the world and your own life, you can't stop at ideas."
