Quotes:

“A lot of times when we're trying to close experience gaps, we try to do it by improving the experience itself, which is absolutely warranted. But a lot of times the gap comes from the gap between expectations and experiences.”

“The very first thing is looking at your data. And I know that sounds almost too simple, but . . . just look at what the data are telling you before you even analyze the data before you even compare one data point or a set of data points to another.”
