“I’ve watched Wade and observed what he does to try to figure out why he is so effective at what he does and I think the answer is that he is so disciplined at documenting everything. He observes, he takes notes, he assimilates and he is able to articulate the bottom line very clearly. He has done a great job with New Venture Lab and it is what is needed for the hour.”
