Quotes by Noah Kagan:

“I believe in hope in fantasy and fairytales in the real world or in the non-business world, but in business, no.”

“If you're not making mistakes, you're probably not experimenting enough.”

“At the end of the day, it really just comes down to you got to do it yourself... go and experiment yourself, go and promote something.”
