“Later that week, on the plane home, Ross wrote me a scathing eleven-page confidential report. He called my "$2 billion by 2020" vision "statistically impossible" and "ridiculous," and listed my blind spots as a leader.
"Charity: water is a shop of 15 people, but a team of exactly one. You," Ross wrote. "You control everything, You even run everything. You are the product design guy. The merchandising guy. The fundraising guy. The message guy. Probably even the check-signing guy ... Metaphorically, if you're still in the club biz, you can either be the bartender or running the show ... You can't mix the drinks and run the whole club."
Ross said I needed to start thinking like a CEO, which meant grow up, stop worrying about day-to-day details, and start focusing on big-picture, multi-year goals.

“There was a slight pause, as though Spock were steeling himself. “Do you consider my abandonment of Kolinahr to be an embarrassment?” Suddenly Amanda turned and faced her son. “Oh, Spock, no,” she said tenderly.”

“Three nights later, at 12:30 a.m. I was sitting in bed working, and worrying about charity: water's future, when an email came in:
Hey, Scott,
The wire should have gone through today for $1M. Let me know if any issues.
Please use this in whatever way you see as most benefiting the charity.
Keep on rocking!
