The two discuss how crisis can serve as a catalyst for innovation, why it pays for technology to always center people, and how a passion for new projects can lead to a long and meaningful career.
Listen to the episode→ | | | | Verse | | | I feel the breath of the summer night,
Aromatic fire:
The trees, the vines, the flowers are astir
With tender desire.
The white moths flutter about the lamp,
Enamoured with light;
And a thousand creates softly sing
A song to the night!
But I am alone, and how can I sing
Praises to thee?
Come, Night! unveil the beautiful soul
That waiteth for me.
