A terrific interview - both Ajay and Judd speak about the importance of leadership, people, culture, data, processes, platforms and a lot more. Compelling 48 minutes of discourse.

So, walls and take it two steps further put them up along both sides of the river. That is going to stop them long enough at least to observe for any counter what, if at all, they're going to do next. It's not so easy to cross over two walls and a river or if also to run supply lines.
