- “I’ve spent the last five years giving away money, mentorship, and advice to strangers on the street and sharing those moments online so millions can learn from them. But now I want to scale that impact even further,” Squibb explained.
- “Will it take people’s jobs? Definitely. But if used in the right way it can also create more dreams and opportunities than ever before,” he said regarding AI’s impact.
- “My app is a tool. But the dream? That has to come from you,” Squibb emphasized about the platform’s purpose.
