I lost $4 million of other people's money between the ages of 24 and 26.

The best way to fire somebody is to compassionately fire them.

The worst way to fire somebody is to let it drag out. It's not good for that person because they're not succeeding in their role. And it's not good for the organization because it's just not working.

GoPro's capture devices and Kolor's software will combine to deliver exciting and highly accessible solutions for capturing, creating, and sharing spherical content.

The magic of GoPro is that we are enabling the world to communicate in this new way, to express themselves in a new way, and it's snowballing.

I have a GoPro in the trunk of my streetcar.

Losing other people's money was terrible.

I learned that most people buy based on emotion, not on a rational breakdown of the product or service.

I wore a GoPro camera on my head for all three of my boys.

You have to ask yourself: how much does any one person or one family need? And when you start thinking about the universe as an organism, it's important that we, as components of that organism, take care of each other and ourselves.

I got an email from the Crown Prince of Norway asking me to talk at a summit for young Norwegian entrepreneurs. I ran to my wife and was like, 'Hey! I got an email from the Prince of Norway!'

I'm just extremely excited to explore the planet that we're living on.

Surfing is such an incredible experience with a huge ego element.

My twenties were my practice. My thirties were when I really hit my stride with GoPro and did all the heavy lifting to build the business.

I still drink a couple of Red Bulls every day.

One of my mentors early on was Eli Harari, the founder of SanDisk, who happened to be a friend of my dad's.

What makes 4K so interesting is it captures lifelike cinema-quality video.

You must, as an entrepreneur - if that's your position - be doing things that really move the needle.

I decided that I want to live in a big world. And since then, any time I'm confronted with a challenging situation, I go for it.

No surfer wants to be the photographer, especially when the waves are good.

At a certain point, the services that you build around the hardware become more important than the hardware itself.

I understand I'm not everyone's cup of tea, and I certainly don't want everyone to look like me. I really only dress for myself.

Great product trumps all. You can have the biggest marketing budget, the biggest show, a perfect merchandising plan, but at the end of the day, it doesn't mean anything if the design and quality of the product you are offering is not compelling.

I almost always wear a jacket, but I like different jackets. I also like funny pants.

Some people are born with a caul. I was born with a jacket.

Fire Island Pines is my perfect escape from N.Y.C. on weekends. Beautiful beaches, great restaurants, and fun people - exactly what I need after a crazy New York week.

Outside of white button-down oord cloth shirts, Trickers brogues, 501s, and Ray-Ban Aviators, the single item of clothing that I have had in my closet consistently since 1982 is a pair of black-and-white checked Vans. They are the lazy man's shoe - perfect for dog walking and security lines at the airport.

For me, a Thom Browne suit is an investment.

Yes, there are probably too many tattoos. But there are too many bad haircuts, too many bad shoe choices, too many bad jeans.

Everyone looks better in clothes that skim the body. Items that fit properly make you look better than wearing something oversize.

The only pair of trousers a guy needs are grey flannel.

My dad was a mechanic, and I have great style memories of him. He wore, every single day: a blue chambray shirt, Levi's 501s, and Red Wing boots. And that certainly wasn't fashionable at the time; it was basically the opposite. And he wore these horn rim glasses that were very Sol Moscot.

It's a love-and-hate relationship with New York. Much like Hong Kong, it's expensive, crowded, the weather is not so nice. But New York is home, and I love New York.

Texas has a uniquely warm climate. So fabric weights and lengths of coats are always a concern.

I got fired from Neiman Marcus and Bergdorfs, and JC Penney didn't work out.

Clothes are an amazing tool. They are an amazing way to hide a multitude of sins; they're an amazing way to be creative. Clothes can do so many things. But at the end of the day, if they don't serve you, it's just a waste of time. Then it is frivolous.

I love the idea of the sartorial mix of fatigues and a great blazer.

I really like neck tattoos and hand tattoos. They're just not for me.

Clothes and fashion should work in people's lives. Period.

Camo is almost like a solid. It is the perfect uniform: you can wear camo in any application and it is always right.

I grew up in the '60s and '70s when men were required to wear a suit, shirt, and tie every day to be taken seriously. I was at the tail end of that generation, and it had a significant impact on me.

Men shop for problem solving. They want something familiar. So if it's a new version of something they understand, they are right there with it and, hopefully, loving it.

I'm so obsessed with Apple, and the chance to work with the people who really created Apple retail is the retail opportunity of a lifetime.

I'm a kid from Kansas, so J.C. Penney was where I got all my clothes from kindergarten to around 7th grade.

To me, how you dress is a way to show you care.

I think with black tie, you can't really do too much. I think you have to pretty much stick to the rules on that.

Getting dressed, for me, is like a window to my soul.

I'll never forget my transition from pleated pants to plain front pants. It was the late '80s. I couldn't get rid of those pleated pants fast enough.

I never wear a black belt with a black shoe. It's always the opposite: a brown shoe with a black belt.

I've seen a few lookalikes, and that kind of freaks me out, but then I'm not the first person on the planet to have tattoos, and I'm not the first person to have hair or a tattoo sleeve.
