Quotes:

"One Big Thing With Modeling Is We Don't Have To Reinvent The Wheel To Solve Every Problem That We're Trying To Solve. What We Can Do Is Actually Look To See Who Else Has Done This And Model Their Solution.”

“When You're Focused On A Solution, You're Better Off To Find A Better Model That Works.”

“It's Really Important For Us To Take Responsibility For The Models That We Choose, Identify The Models That We're Doing That Aren't Working, And Change Those Out.”
