Introductory Quote

[30:18]

“One key goal for us across all of our teams is figuring out what works and then scaling it. To do that, we have to try a lot of things and fail. So that's part of our job, launching these pilots, and then letting a bunch of them not work, and being honest and open both about our successes and our failures.”
