All right, I need everybody to take a
deep breath here because um I'm about to
stress you out. And right, this is just
one little microcosm of the entire tech
industry, but if you look around at all
the different categories of software
right now, the same exact thing is
happening. And I haven't even mentioned
the horde of startups, wellunded
startups, uh that are getting funded in
every single one of these spaces as
well. And among all of this chaos, we
have companies that are essentially
collapsing in months rather than years.
You sitting in the middle of all of
this, right? And the question is is how
in the world do you find a seam among
all of these players to potentially find
some traction and win? That's the
question we have to answer before any of
the other stuff like technology,
infrastructure, or even what our roles
are in the organization.
