Humphrey’s advice for budding entrepreneurs is to not listen to people who say that something’s impossible and to create a compelling vision that inspires your employees.
“The secret is that the most talented people want to work for a company that is trying to do great things,” Humphrey says.
“They themselves are ambitious. People want a reason to get out of bed in the morning. They want something ambitious [and] to come on a journey with you.”
