Quotes of the Episode:

"...I can't imagine learning and doing like a professional or personal development to a point where you are good at something and then this machine comes along and basically is trained on the stuff that you've learned and does a similar thing." - Dan

"...Most likely, nine times out of 10, a new piece of technology will not solve your problems. It is not a solution to something. Technology won't solve them. You will." - Dan
