(52:00) Key Quotes: "I started Yellowbird, basically, in the back of an Uber, because the concept of skill sets on demand was very interesting to me. But the concept of commoditization of human beings was not interesting to me." - Michael Zalle "I always say there's a line of value. And as long as we stay within the line of value, then everybody wins." - Michael Zalle "To be truly helpful, you need to have resources. And so for me, I look at what I do, as the magic bag behind the broker. If it has to do with anything that's risk related, Yellowbird can generally have it solved within 24 to 48 hours." - Michael Zalle Resources Mentioned: Learn more about Yellowbird at https://www.goyellowbird.com/.
