Quitting is a strategy and takes just as much courage as when you started. Thank you for this reminder. And I just finished your book. It was full of great stories and advice.

"Despite my desire to back CEOs who are going to be bulldogs about pursuing every last lead and chasing down every last pivot, I also have to respect a leader who not only has the smarts to recognize when he is going down a dead end road, but also the discipline to be just as aggressive about engineering a safe landing for all of his stakeholders"

Running a startup is never easy but the hardest is planning to quit safely. It is not an intended plan but an inevitable consequence of the startup world.

Aside, I have read severally of your story of Netflix and how you managed to maneuver the industry until it fall in your favor. I would like, if you have enough time, to have a chat with you concerning the startup world. If so, I would appreciate. Thanks
