NFL quarterback turned-founder Colin Kaepernick on the challenges facing disrupters | TechCrunch
Briefly

One of the biggest challenges that you will likely face when you try to disrupt something - or you try to do something you're passionate about, and it ends up disrupting something in that process is you face a lot of resistance. There will be difficult times, and during those times, you want to have those people that you can lean on, the people that can support you, and that's really what gives you that endurance.
When you do that and you see such a strong response to it, it really gives you perspective and insight. We have such a long way to go. But, the other part that I learned during that time period, there are also a lot of people that want to go that long way with you, and I think that has been the beautiful part coming out of that is while there has been resistance to it, there's also been a lot of organizing.
Do your homework and know why you're doing what you're doing. And then two, once you know that, go after it passionately and go after it with everything that you have.
