Robert Pozen

After, Cannot, Problem

Everything, Everyone, Off

Al Jarreau

Live, Career, Happen

Of course, I'm not often the top dog, but sometimes it's better not to be top dog, because you last longer. If a movie or play flops, you always blame the lead. They say, 'He couldn't carry it.' They always blame him. But they rarely blame the second or third banana.
Charles Durning

Blame, Him, Play

In order for a service to be social, you've really got to start from the ground up. The fact that almost a third of the U.S. population have even heard of Spotify is really because they've seen it on Facebook and friends have been sharing.
Daniel Ek

Friends, Start, Service

The third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers: Mao Tse-tung and Mother Theresa - not often coupled with each other, but the two people I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point which is 'you're going to make choices; you're going to challenge; you're going to say why not; you're going to figure out how to do things that have never been done before.
Anita Dunn

Mother, Simple, Political

John Singleton

Time, Everything, Play

Rebecca Lobo

Mom, Bad, Parents

Al Kaline

Best, Different, Play
