The Florida Business Observer has a habit of highlighting the very best quotes from the movers and shakers it interviews in its newspaper.
Its March 22 edition featured a quote from Marc Randolph, Co-founder of Netflix. He said:
“Big or small, if you are unwilling to disrupt yourself, you are leaving things wide open for someone else to disrupt your business for you.”
