“We're building a company. That company just happens to be Thrive.”
“The company has a product and it is to invest and be the most meaningful partner to those that we're fortunate enough to partner with.”
“I was interviewing a candidate recently who asked me, 'Why is everyone at Thrive so driven and motivated and hungry?' I told her it is because most of us are either first generation or from New Jersey, the state everyone is always making fun of.”
“Some people just have innately wonderful taste and intuition. Josh has wonderful taste. I think it bleeds into his product intuition, which is just fabulous.”
“During that crazy week where I got fired and rehired, he just put his entire life on hold. He didn't leave his hotel room for 72 hours. He just worked non-stop, very strategically, very effectively, to get things back on the rails.”
“My deepest insecurity is that I have these intuitions about things that I cannot explain to anyone. Sometimes I see or experience something and it makes sense to me, I fall in love, but I cannot explain why. Which is why my even deeper insecurity is … what if I lose it?”
“I have navigated many complex situations in my life. I have learned not to care too much about what the world thinks. Not because I am special, but because I have had a unique lens on what the world is and how people can act. People love you, and then they hate you, and then they love you. The only thing that ultimately matters is how you feel about yourself.”
“Most investors don't work that hard, they're usually not available for midnight calls or won't drop everything to fly across the country on short notice to do a small favor for you the next day. Josh is consistently willing to do all these things.”
“I keep coming back to J.P. Morgan. Morgan wanted to be a part of the financiers of his time, but also independent of them in an important way. His view was that you could be the trusted party, the person and institution that could be trusted to anchor the broader movement of capital across America at that pivotal moment in history.”
“Our founders are heroes. We're not Da Vinci. We're Medici. Our opportunity is to enable the artists that we're fortunate enough to support to create their masterpieces.”
