Quotes:

(6:27-6:49) “A lot of what I’ve learned about building teams and matching personalities and getting the right group in complement of people with skill sets together, all lot of that I learned from the world of bands and being stuck together in a van. Getting people that have something different to bring to the table that add up to a sum greater than the parts. It’s weird the lessons you can learn just from grinding it out on the road doing the music thing.”

(19:43-20:11) “If you’re a developer, you know how hard it is to juice an extra 10% of revenue by changing the economy of your app or something. It can be a lot of work, but, it’s so much easier to just make an ad that converts 10% easier or make your store page convert 10% better. That can be done with a few hours of creative development time and minutes of setting up a test. You run that test, you’ve got that win. Congratulations, you’re now getting 10% more users every time someone comes to the page, making 10% more revenue.”
