Quotes:
“The number one thing you need to do when you’re faced with a rattlesnake or a flood or a problem at work or a product, you need to innovate. Whatever is, begin by asking, okay, we have a problem.” (06:38)
“What have I done to create the problem? It’s not easy to be self searching or you may ask friends or people you trust, colleagues, what am I doing that I may have caused this problem? Throwing that in that honest evaluation will require you to say, okay, maybe I contribute.” (13:26)
“Once you think you’ve got the greatest idea in the world, it’s important to have pushback. That doesn’t mean customers out there who don’t know you are going to like your cookie.” (25:03)
