Quotes From This Episode:
“Customer feedback is so important because you can be delusional. Every time I step away from talking to customers, I start becoming delusional in the sense that you start believing your own Kool-Aid and your own hype and it's just not real.” Click To Tweet
“If you’re building it for your community, then you have to spend time in the community.”
“If we change our mindset and say like, I’m going to put this out there because I’ve gone through this and I’m going to share this, I think it changes your perspective around why you’re posting and gives you that confidence and courage.”
