Memorable Quotes

"I really believe that if you have the discipline to do one or two things towards your business, towards your idea, towards your passion, you can disrupt anything." – Miki Agrawal

"It's so important for us to put ourselves as adults in a container of playfulness." – Miki Agrawal

"In our lives, not even just in business, but in our lives, if we just are focusing on being perfect, we are going to stagnate. You know, iteration is perfection. Stagnation is death. I talk about that in Disruptor all the time. When you stagnate is when you die. It's when you're literally in a box, you're dead. That's because you stop moving. It's really about moving and moving and moving again.-." – Miki Agrawal
