powerful quotes
“I actually realized that I was passionate about building things aside from software, right, and helping organizations and teams to evolve and scale.” -Ari
“At Auth0, we focus on essentially, what it's called out integration and authorization. So we are an authentication and authorization service for developers and application teams.” -Ari
“Authenticate means that you validate that the user is who they claim to be.” -Ari
“With multi factor authentication, being it as a user, whether I'm a volunteer or a donor, or subscribe to programs, if I'm going into a system, and putting in my personal information or my payment information.” -Peter
“We have to understand our donors are expecting that because if customers are seeing that through all their favorite platforms, it's going to catch up that we don't want to be the last of the table at prioritizing that kind of technology, too.” -Jon
“Healthy conflict is something that can propel you and teams to actually improve and move fast.” -Ari
“Every time that we avoid having a positive, or a healthy conflict is hitting the brakes on innovation.” -Ari
“Roads are always long and windy and mostly uphill. But the view is really cool when you look over your shoulder and it's always seems to be a straight line.” -Peter

The We are for good community
This is a safe place for deeper conversations. While we love this podcast, it is a very one-sided dialogue. It is great for starting conversations, but not continuing them. You can find friends, colleagues, and others to champion alongside. We believe community is everything and we wanted to create a place where people could learn and thrive and grow together (and also have a whole lot of fun).
