QUOTES

Rob: "People help other people because of the rush it gives them. Humans are humans and the irreducible denominator is that we're all humans. As much as I like to think that I like solving problems because it gives my customer or the person I'm working with some value, it gives me value. It gives me this gratification that there was either something that wasn't there before and now it is, or there wasn't an answer there before and now there is." 

Megan: "What's more important, work or life? Work takes up most of our life. You better enjoy it." 

Megan: "It's absolutely harder as a woman in tech. And so, the challenge, the war wounds have built me, helped me, and frankly, now, I'm in a state where I can really look at other women who want to be in the field, who want to enter, and have such a strong desire to have a positive impact on them. Like how can we get more women into tech sales and into tech."
