It contains a single-speaker monologue by a founder/entrepreneur reflecting on early assumptions that product, marketing, and sales drive success, and explaining they later learned that people and company culture are the critical factors as a company scales.

In the first couple of months of founding the company, someone told me, you'll fail if you don't focus on people and culture. I thought this was the biggest crock of shit that I'd ever heard. I was like, no, it's going to be the product. It's going to be the marketing. It's going to be the sales. And then at the end of the day, you're like, oh, you're such an idiot, Patrick. Of course it's the people. Because as you continue to grow, even if you get to a dozen employees, let alone 50, let alone 100, let alone 500, your people are the thing that build the thing, right?
