Snippets from the Episode

  • "I have a vision that is fuzzy for what we're doing and where we're going, and I think that I communicate it often, but the reality is my team needs to see it, to know it, to hear it all the time. And I don't communicate it as often as I think I do."— Khalil Benalioulhaj

  • "If a guarantee doesn't scare you, it's not really much of a guarantee."— Martin Holland

  • "It is a real problem. Most people when I meet them can't really tell me what they want in three years."— Martin Holland

  • "I think you take what works and you leave what doesn't. You don't need to use all the apps in your phone to be a good iPhone user."— Khalil Benalioulhaj
