To put this in perspective, if you strayed just one degree off course from New York to Los Angeles, the plane would miss L.A. by 40 miles in the Pacific Ocean.” (1:08:29) - "60% solution today is better than a 100% solution too late." ------- Where to find Griffin (1:24:00) 📸 LinkedIn 🐣 Twitter 🦋 Lumity: Griffin Brand ------- My Links: 🦋 Lumity 🎙 Podcast 🎥 YouTube 🐣 Twitter 📸 Instagram 📸 Lumity Instagram 👨🏾‍💻 Jetro Solutions
