NOTABLE QUOTES:

• [24:03] - “I find that analogies are the gateway to storytelling. [They’re] very short stories that you use almost as morals to a story or something that will teach something and help someone take a concept that's new in and relate it to something they already know, increasing their ability to understand that new information much more quickly.” - Jennifer Ryan
