Quotes

I think that’s one of the mistakes – maybe one of the missteps – that a lot of early tech or early startups make is just trying to do a little too much versus just winning really well on one or two, three channels at the most.”  (6:44)

There’s these big, almost like tectonic shifts in marketing, which is really strange.  And so our advocation is usually like, if everybody’s going this way, go that way, let’s try something different.”  (19:55)

For me, it’s not about building the next big company for myself, but I’m really liking to see people come up and see them have this idea and watch it go through their brain like, I’ve seen that.  I know what that feels like...That’s something that I think is awesome.”  (26:49)
