It’s the core of everything we do.” [15:10] “We can affect a lot of change very quickly because we can move a lot product and help people grow some sustainable businesses very effectively.” [19:30] — Matthew Wang on The Morning After See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
