Quotes
“Our secret sauce at Movista is that we were the first to market on mobile and we give a single user interface to field teams.” - Stan Zylowski, (8:52)
“I sometimes say we took the dirt road so others can take the superhighway, and that’s great. That’s totally fine. We learned a lot of lessons along the way, but hopefully, we left a lot of breadcrumbs to help people follow the path.” - Stan Zylowski, (12:21)
“It’s about giving back, and the last anchor, the bedrock of the whole thing, is let’s have fun. We have to be here. We have to work. Let’s make it fun. So yeah we’ve lost some deals, but we’ve never lost a party.” - Stan Zylowski, (35:25)
“What I love about Northwest Arkansas is that any company you can think of would be able to be started here. Everyone that has products signed to Walmart, when they send people here, they don’t send the drags, they send the best and brightest…It’s this crazy combination of wealth gained in a conservative way.” - Stan Zylowski, (39:30)
