My Notes - Iddris Sandu Interview on the "Your Attention Please” Podcast

Hi folks,

Wishing you all health and happiness in this time. Something that really gave me joy recently was listening to an interview with Iddris Sandu on the "Your Attention Please” Podcast. I wanted to share a few quotes that resonated with me on the podcast:

  • I’m always prepared because I’m always constantly reading…That constantly means learning and sometimes unlearning.
  • Steve Jobs quoted Alan Kay in the 2007 launch of the iPhone when he said, "To build great software you have to create great hardware and that’s what inspired the creation of the iPhone."
  • These kids need platforms that were designed for them.
  • If I’m getting credit from a biased platform that wasn’t built for me where does that get me, because credit means validation.
  • No more waiting for a seat at the table. If you get to the table and there’s no seat bring your own.
  • You can be a creative but you have to be a business person. You have to be branded as a creative CEO.
  • Ownership means nothing if you aren’t coming back to your community and making other owners.

I definitely recommend you listen to the full podcast here and if you have Hulu watch the Your Attention Please episode with Iddris Sandu.

Cheers!
