QUOTES:
“I think I’d love it if people would kind of shift from focusing on ideas and solutions to going back to the problem and just want to make sure it’s a really good problem. And it’s an important problem and has an impact. And then, once you’ve all that due diligence - then you can start thinking about ideas.” [03:11]
“Unless it’s solving like a real problem, just keep it simple.” [31:36]
“Obviously beauty and delight are very important, but for me, I’d say it’s the most overrated element.” [39:37]
