QOTD: I asked a friend why a dubious entrepreneur keeps getting funded again and again despite his poor execution skills. His answer? VCs are not in the business of "successful companies". They are in the business of "successful exits".

Always a joy to speak to @mari_selvaraj , one of the few directors who still gives space for print. And, he always answers, even if it is critical or probing, craft-wise, decision-wise. Read off.
In a conversation with @subhajrao, filmmaker @mari_selvaraj talks about his latest outing, #BisonKaalamaadan, the teachers who shaped him, and the politics, pain, and quiet tenderness that fuel his cinema. https://t.co/A1wvVf4xuo

What a brilliant title. Every time I listen to a podcast with a VC or startup founder, this comes to my mind.

If you hate running, don't run. If you don't like going to the gym, don't go. If you love walking, do it 3x a day. The best exercise is the one you actually do. Consistency always beats intensity.
