  • Nick's career, some of his early times at Harvard and Bridgewater, and the lessons he learned through it all.
  • How Nick got started doing what he's doing today.
  • What it's like to build a company in a space that is emerging.
  • Some persuasion techniques and tips for how to be persistent even when the going gets tough.
  • How Nick landed Domino's first customers and why they held off on raising capital for some time.
