HIGHLIGHT QUOTES


[00:00:49] "They give me the data and I just, I hear them. Sounds
like there's a logical solution, but my gut just is something in
my stomach... I just don't feel like I want to make the decision
now."
[00:02:30] "Get your ego out of the way and just change [the
decision]... I've always found it's okay to make a decision based
upon the data that you have."
[00:03:54] "If you're really listening, you're listening to what
the data tells you, you're listening to what your eyes are
telling you, what your gut tells you... and then quickly
execute."
