  • Thoughtful and inspiring

    Seems like a genuinely good and intentional group of people trying to solve hard problems in an ethical way. They go into the nitty gritty. I listened to the episode on “people and planet” and the depth they went into their operations, culture, and how they think about their impact was super inspiring. Even how they incorporate AI to software was much more intentional than what I normally hear.
