Some people absolutely have a predisposition to certain things, but they're definitely bad compared to people who've been doing it for longer. This concept hit home for me while I was writing Without Their Permission — few people talk about the fact that sucking is totally OK and that most successful people are busy…

I was conceived in Ft. Greene and born in the late St. Vinent's hospital. I feel more at home here in Brooklyn than I have anywhere else in the world I've lived (even my fatherland, Armenia and motherland, Germany!).

I spend < 1hr on reddit every day, which is probably the smartest thing a person can do - thanks to RescueTime.com for that. I read Hacker News every morning, too, but that's the extent of content I consume aside from what I'll occasionally see in my hootsuite.

This is gonna look like a plant, but... http://fancyhands.com/ is what I swear by.

Eh? I've been saying that since starting reddit, but I like the sound of nerdfighters!

I want to be afraid. Not for my safety. But afraid that she is going to make a huge dent in the universe and I wasn't there to help with an investment. She'd show me that with a product that's showing lots of traction (traffic/revenue or ideally both) an understanding of her market, and how much she gives a damn about…

Oof. I can't think that far ahead. I think people are just now starting to understand what Kickstarter means for creative projects and I'm expecting a lot more innovation in 'new ways for people to pay for stuff' — whether it's VHX.tv style (portfolio company) or JOBS Act-flavored.

What about this exceptionally successful Lifehacker Q&A?

I don't set a specific time allowance but I like to let myself be non-productive when I've earned it (like after this interview I'm going to download the Madden 13 demo because I remembered RG3 is now playable and I want a quick 15 with him). But like I said, I really love "working" so it's not like I regularly crave…

Launch. Test. Repeat.

Learn how to code. We (and our ideas) are all too common, I'm afraid. Your next best bet is what I did and look to friends of yours who can code to partner with and demonstrate how you can add value once the product is built (where you'll really need to pull your weight). The best indication of a good non-tech founder…

http://fancyhands.com I'm advising these cats and I'm a longtime hardcore user — it's the best remote personal assistant service I've tried (they're all basically hipsters in Brooklyn/Portland). Avoid doing things you can hand off to someone else (not homework, but business busy work that just has to get done, but…

Start learning how to code! There are so many awesome places to learn for free online. http://codecademy.com is one of my faves (and portfolio company) or ask your parents to hire you a tutor :) http://tutorspree.com is another portfolio co, but I get to hear about the teenagers olds who want programming tutors — it's…

Audionotes! The next step of awesomeness will be when I sync it up with fancyhands and I can start leaving audionotes for my remote personal assistant while I'm walking down the street (and not running into anyone because I'm not typing!).

That depends - do you have an XBOX?

We wouldn't technically be hosting any of the documents, but linking to them, so we're gravy.

I am! I was so proud I even got an RGIII shoutout into a recent CBS This Morning interview: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505263_162-57480399/reddit-co-founder-alexis-ohanian-news-organizations-should-stop-rushing-to-be-first/?tag=mncol;lst;1

I'm looking forward to hopefully being a father one day. I'm not in a rush, though.

Unclear. Sometimes I wonder how much of an impact I really have with the few seconds or maybe a minute that live TV provides to speak one's mind. I think it was incredibly helpful during SOPA/PIPA because I found myself on nearly every channel that day (Jan 18) talking about the protests and explaining to Americans…

Green!
