Memorable Quotes from the episode:
[00:42:09] "...My other piece of advice, which is, do you lose money for the firm? I'll be understanding. If you lose a shred of reputation, I will be ruthless. Let's talk with me. Right. Reputation is everything. As he also says, it takes a lifetime to build a reputation. It takes 15 minutes to destroy it. So when we started our business, I thought it was interesting. We didn't really care about the money. We cared about reputation and cared about doing great work, meeting great people and just, I think developing good relationships. I always optimizing for reputation. I think we thought if we could build that pile of reputational capital, the money would follow. The reverse is rarely true, though. In the short term, you can build as much money as you can, but you can destroy your reputation. And then who's going to want to do business with you?"
