Quotes:

“I think, you see common threads from conversations to which also impact how you look at what you're doing, and you look at your product because I think that that's like it's not measurable.”

“I think common language is key to have those conversations and really fill those gaps strategically. And to build those partnerships and foster that, like continued engagement is like, let's make sure we're talking about the same thing.”

“Every person you meet in your life has something that brings value to your world, and it is your job to or to the world, excuse me, not your world, the world, it is your job to find out what that is.”
