Ben said a successful startup CEO is someone who doesn’t understand the word “no,” but knows how to survive his or her own failures, then moves forward with a greater knowledge of what went wrong.

Ben attributes the success of Cheezburger Network to the users and fans who create the content and those who started the sites. In the end, his goal is to make the world happy for five minutes a day. We believe he’s well on the way to doing just that!
