“I don't believe that problems are a thing—you just have to find the solution. I don't believe in losing or failure—I believe in learning. Me and Jorge like to move fast and make solutions and test things out and beta test stuff. We don't have a fear that something may not work. We don't like to overanalyze. We'd like to try it out and see how it goes, and then we can make adjustments and changes." ~ Austin Wood
