Quote by Keith Rabois

“Most people, most great people even are ammunition. But what you need in your company are barrels. You can only shoot through the number of unique barrels you have, so that's how the velocity of your company improves... is by adding barrels, and then you stock them with ammunition and then you can do a lot.”

One of the ways, the definition of a barrel is, they can take an idea from conception and take it all the way to shipping and bring people with them.”
