'Recently was interviewed on in a “three questions” format: You have had such a wide variety of experience—YouTube, Google, Second Life, and now a VC.

'As exits have been flowing nicely again the past few years, many of the entrepreneurs I work with have experienced their first big exit. I refer to this moment as when you find that you have life changing money in your bank account, which I like to call “f**k you money.” You now can do whatever you want with the rest of your life.
