'Cosmopolitan' used to publish five covers across the U.S. so that if one was unpopular, it wouldn't tank their entire sales.

If you use your old business models to restrict people, they're going to find ways to get that content the way they want it.

I run the largest survey company in the world. It just so happens to be the second-largest company run by someone in my house.

I really like the mission at SurveyMonkey, which is, we help people make better decisions. It's just a great thing.

In general, you don't want competitors to understand your business outside of telling people your revenue and profitability numbers.

I go home, I have dinner with my wife and kids, and after my kids go to bed, I'm back online doing stuff.

I just find that people can waste a lot of time in meetings, so I try to restrict meetings to the minimum that they need to be. But I have lots of time in my day where I am available to have informal conversations, where I grab someone to talk, and people can just walk up to my desk and talk to me.

There's not a whole lot of advantage for a company to be public.

Most of what we've done at SurveyMonkey is create a market, which I would say is much harder than trying to enter a market that already exists. But if you get it right, it can become a great business.

We saw that our customers required help beyond the data sets they had and that they could benefit from a wider opinion. So we built SurveyMonkey Audience, and we've now got 4 million users who signed up to take surveys. Our clients can choose the demographic they want to hear from, and we can provide that sample.
