    • “The reality is, it's generative AI behind the scenes that is taking data from all these places and doing something with it, which is what we haven't ever seen before.” - James Jenkins
    • “We finished up the book, it is called Leaving Captivity. It is a blueprint that is designed to help someone launch a successful scratch agency.” - James Jenkins
