One Powerful Quote: 
9:18: “I think that’s kinda what we have to do as an industry either we’re doing it ourselves or as smaller brands. We just have to leverage partners because now it’s just survival…I think even as a smaller brand, if you’re going to survive, you gotta be hybrid in your offerings and so I think technology took a step forward even more as a survival requirement… and not just doing it because others are doing it in some way, shape, or form.”
