"Often I've asked, who is Dustin Curtis? Why is he telling me the important things about building a startup?"

As someone who is neither in the hater not fan category, this is what I've been trying to figure out. I have no clue who he is and it's very difficult to find out much besides he's an opinionated person with a taste for design.
