EPISODE QUOTES
“Basically we [Holman Strategic Ventures] build products and we look for opportunities adjacent to the core. And that’s been our mission for the last three years.” (06:37)
“Imagine that you don’t want to lease, you don’t want to buy a vehicle. You just need a vehicle just for a certain amount of time and you don’t want to rent a vehicle. You could actually subscribe to a vehicle for the type of use you wanted.” (12:25)
“Particularly, when you look at the FedExs, the Amazons of this world, they’re part of a gig economy. And those vehicles have to be up. If that vehicle’s down, then packages aren’t being delivered on time.” (16:37)
“When you’ve got people doing work for you remote – whether it’s Lyft drivers, snow plow drivers, lawn care, housesitting – it’s crucial to have the data to give you the comfort that it’s being managed correctly. It truly is management by metrics now.” (22:02)
“It’s also critical that you understand and bring some real world experience to the data because you can make data fit any story that you want.” (28:02)
