I met John a few years ago, and he's one of my favorite founders. He's smart, on top of things, personable, and effective. He's been a huge inspiration to me, and I find myself constantly thinking "what would John do?" when in a tough spot. I'm sad he won't be in SF (and sadder I didn't take advantage of it more when he was), but excited to see what happens. John doesn't give up... this is just another step in a long journey. Like the adage goes, "This too shall pass".
