[06:00] “That high performer who’s taking on a lot of work is doing it really well. They don’t necessarily want to be distracted by creating documentation.”
[20:22] “I think the biggest thing, or the trait that has played the biggest role in our success, is just a willingness to admit when we don’t know something, which is really hard.”
Matt Wolach
