“The Bible and Tech in My Mind, there's Innovator's Dilemma and Innovator's Solution from Clayton Christensen. I think you have to read that book and I'd say I'd recommend to people that read it every few years. And the other one that I love is Ben Horowitz's book.

“It was an amazing thing to pull off, because we never thought we'd be able to do it, and we were really worried going into it, thinking, "Well, we're trying to do fireside chats for 12 hours, and there's a capacity of human absorption that we're trying to challenge.”

“" We didn't do that. And frankly, I didn't know how it was going to work out, because there are things about the way that the generation is, and by the way, all of us, not just new generation, but this kind of constantly being glued to your phone all the time and not being able to actually put that down and have a conversation.”
