“Mike Isaac crafted the narrative of this story in a way that the moment you started reading it, you understand this was a story you had to try to amplify and tell for an even bigger audience. As the book was constructed, it lent itself to being crafted as drama.” – Brian Koppelman (Video: Washington Post Live)
“One thing we wanted to establish early on is his effectiveness running this company. He got hundreds and thousands of people to follow him and to enlist in his vision…It’s only later that they realize that they might have signed on for things that weren’t as they appeared in the beginning.” - David Levien (Video: Washington Post Live)
“We don’t spend a lot of time talking about, ‘Is he a good guy or is he a bad guy?’ What we really want to ask ourselves is ‘what is the cost of disruption?’… Travis was incredibly successful. We all have Uber in our pocket, so we’re really asking what’s the cost of that?” – Beth Schacter (Video: Washington Post Live)
