Luckily, I was blessed to go to Stanford and a school that was primarily focused on academics, so it was a blessing.

Stanford had no journalism program so I just learned by doing, effectively.

I don't think I could have thought of any place other than Stanford to leave Harvard for.

I came out of my professional athlete career with a 450 credit score, no money in the bank to show for it, but I had an Ivy League degree. So I put that Dartmouth degree to good use and got a job on Wall Street. I hated it but used the time to make connections and become financially literate.

If I hadn't gone to Stanford, I'd be working at P&G now.

I'm a Stanford kid through and through.

For the last year I've been at Stanford University as a student and I've had time to read the newspaper.

I am a professor at Stanford; I am a happy professor at Stanford. That's where I'm staying.

When I came to the United States in 2004 to attend university at Stanford, I was instantly inspired by the stories and advice from startup leaders in Silicon Valley and beyond, who had endeavoured to create new opportunities and improve lives around the world.

My job at Stanford is rather different from the ones I had held previously in that my own ambitions must take a back seat to the well-being of the students with whom I work.
