Thelonious Monk once said that "the line between insanity and genius is razor thin".

From the perspective of the entrepreneur, much of success is playing the confidence game and therefore being a little crazy might be an asset.

There is so much stuff in that video, that's what really hood investors are. The thing is, you can't be just between insane and genius, you have to be able to use either of the two just when it's the right time to use them.

I doubt that Monk said that. It sounds more like something people would say about him.
