QUOTES

04:53 "They can spend a ton of money on firewalls and all of the things that'll keep them safe from the outside in, but if you've got somebody who's letting them through the backdoor, you're not going to be very effective."

11:08 "If you don't have any technical skill, and we'll give you some advice, don't lead from the front because that's not going to work because you'll turn around and you'll see that there aren't a whole lot of people following you if you don't have the technical chops."

14:52 "When you have a workforce that feels like they have ownership and they can contribute in their contributions or appreciated, that's when they're going to want to contribute more. That's when morale is going to soar."

21:13 "I would want to lead unapologetically. I wouldn't want to feel that am I being too this, am I being too that, am I being too strong, am I being too aggressive."

31:11 "Anybody who's not willing to do some sort of FaceTime with you, make sure that you speak to them on the phone to find out if they have an accent. If they're saying they're from Chicago and they've got some sort of other accent, that's a telltale sign."
