Key Quotes from this episode: "I think we're all in this fast-paced moving thing that a lot of us have forgotten why we even got into the business." "Understanding what it is that you want and looking at it while being very honest with yourself will answer a lot of the questions that arise when you're inside the trenches." "The minute that a computer does it and it's automated, it's like with Netflix. If Netflix sends you an invoice, you know you need to pay five more dollars. It's automated. You're not angry with Netflix." "I don't think it's all around what's right and what's wrong. It all should be dictated around your end goal."
