Quote of the Show (6:00):

"There's no one in charge. There's literally tens of thousands of different budgets. There's no innovation process, no risk capital. And then in the year 2024 you have a security guard in a parking lot sitting there with a number two pencil and a notepad. And then we're wondering why it doesn't work.” – William Santana Li
