Memorable moments:

17:07: As we try to attract new talent, it's important for us to maintain a really strong reputation in the market so that we have a leg up on our competitors in that way.

29:54: You need to build your network of people who can be advisors and experienced resources in the space. Put yourself out there be vulnerable and be a sponge. I think the more you learn, the more quickly you gain respect in the market.

31:23: You can be confident in yourself and know what you bring to the table. But you also have to be willing to know that you don't know everything and that you need to learn, and that will make you better in the long run.
