- When we think about DTC we have to remember what the entailed vision was: “to disrupt the existing industry or category with a product that is equal to or better than the existing products that are available and make them more affordable and get them to you quicker.” -Ingrid

- “Crypto bros are basically just this generation's example of extreme couponers.” -Phillip
- A company-curated around being highly curated and centered around good company culture, and innovation will beat out money every single time.
