As a college student that is working on a web app start-up, what Alexis said really hung with me. The fear of failure is present for me. Before watching this video, I had never considered the fact that I have the luxury of nobody caring/expecting my startup to be successful. This thought takes some of the pressure of my shoulders, and allows me to do what I do best: Get shit done.

Please don't be held back by your own fear of failure! At the risk of looking like a totally shameless selfpromoter, I spoke about a related lesson that's just as valuable: no one gives a damn about your startup/idea/thing - except maybe your mom - so you've gotta expect to convince everyone that it's worth their time; that means making something really compelling and always hustling to improve it & build an audience.
