Scott D. Anthony
All disruptive innovators make it easier and more affordable for people to do what matters to them, and follow a strategy that doesn't at first glance make sense to the market leader.
Scott D. Anthony
The reality is customers lie - not because they want to want to deceive you, but because they don't do a good job of predicting what they will do in the future.
