Thus, the core group of an organisation will not shrink excessively.'"

Excerpt from CNBC -- "'Although this was a win for them, the next few years are going to bring new regulations that explore these boundaries between platforms and traditional companies and that frame new regulations for the platforms, so it's really important for AirBnB to maintain the public trust and maintain good relationships with all of the member states even though this is a huge regulatory win for them.'"

'I think the effects of lockups are vastly overstated.'"

Excerpt from Fat Mascara Podcast -- "L'oreal or Estée Lauder or any other big company are very careful. They follow all the rules and FTA's rules and have a house lawyer specifically to check the marketing copy or any kind of communication message that goes out because it has to be backed up. In MLM companies, the only regulations are self-regulations."
