"We’re hiring in people that espouse our values. We’re making sure that people come in with the understanding that we don’t want shenanigans here. We want you to be humble here, we want you to ‘Draw the Owl,’ we want you to really acquire knowledge and thirst after it. If you keep hiring people like that, that already lend to your values, then you're going to continue to have that culture"
