The title was definitely a surprise! We don't see ourselves as David to Google's Goliath, though that title & dramatic shadowy photo might have you believe otherwise. :)

You should revisit the David to Goliath story :)

It is worth watching, if not for the accurateness of the facts, but by the amazing point of view.

I'm a big fan of MG and this was so great! It really does paint the story in a new way. Thanks for sharing.

Still, David was intent on destroying Goliath. I want our company to be the best at what we do, but that's not the same as wanting to beat and/or destroy Google. I'd like for Google to stick around for a long time, inventing new cars and better internet and whatnot :)
