"Anytime you're making an investment, I want you to just put the pause button on it. Don't stop it. But put the pause button on it. Ask yourself a simple question, which is, what is the problem we're really solving? What is the problem we're really solving?"

Episode Takeaway:

"I think is important for companies to focus on is recognizing that the best answer, the best solutions, are often right in front of your nose. If we can take the time to actually step back and make sure we're solving the right problems, and we're reframing them the right ways, we will get an incredible amount of value."
