"When I meet with the entrepreneur, I'm really looking for passion, but it's got to sort of be inside of them. I'll ask questions and pull it out of them. Like, why are you doing this? Sometimes passion just means this is something I really have to do. If I don't do it, either somebody else will, or no one else will. And that kind of passion is the beginning of a trillion dollar business that I'm looking for."
