Episode 6 Review - Centricity in SaaS: Lesley Ronaldson Keeps the Customer First

I think if I was 10 years younger and she was leading the workforce and there was an opportunity to work at one of the institutes that she worked at, I'd snap it up. I think there's two things for that. One, she's just tireless in her motivation, her energy. I don't think you get away with just chilling on a day.

And the bad name comes from where people have been missold. Or when they've been sold or purchased, the actual benefit has not been seen and the value outweighs that.
