"The pattern when you disrupt anything is fairly typical, which is that the incumbents fight you. And fight you and fight you and fight you and fight you. And at some point there are some forward-thinking ones that want to join, 'maybe we should take a little risk here and get with the program.' And then eventually everyone kind of comes on board."
