Meet Tony.
He’s an engineer and a designer, an investor, mentor, and now an author. And he makes things – things that have changed the world.

This is where it all comes together.
This book is everything Tony has learned, every explosive failure, every unexpected success, every team he’s built and product he’s dreamed up.
