Jim VandeHei

As somebody who runs media companies, had I asked my product team to do that even a year ago, it would have taken certainly three to six people and probably three to four months to get to prototype.

Me, Jim alone, working only on his phone.

I'm not even using my laptop for this.

Only on my phone was able to build that and get it into an operating state.

I'll give you another example.

I'm trying to build, I'm a fly fisherman.

One of my frustrations is, is that it's really hard when I travel to find a guide.

And so I'm trying to build like the Uber of fly fishing and,

Where I basically take, and basically all I did is I said, I want you to think like you're Steve Jobs.

I want you to study Uber.

I want you to study similar marketplaces.

I want you then to help me build out an app that would match consumer with either the fishing guide or hunting guide.

And it's magical.

Like even the first stab before I even started to ask it to make some changes, it was beautiful.

It was intuitive.

It was doing and building things that I wasn't asking it to.

And if you want to really go one level deeper to see just how fascinating it is, you can click one button and you can see how it's thinking and just watch how it thinks.

And then ask yourself, do I have a friend who could think that smartly?

I don't.

And I feel like I know a lot of smart people.
