the last paragraph: "Allowing 'ourselves to be pulled in another direction' [ie, think outside the box, to quote Steve Jobs] is what makes us human, Mr Spiegel said in a commencement speech at the University of Southern California's Marshall School of Business in 2015. Quoting John F Kennedy, he added, 'Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.'

Note:
(a) This report sounds like a hagiography. I do not like the tone, and do not recommend it to you. However great CEO Evan Spiegel of Snap, Inc is, there must be flaws in him, just like everybody else.
(b) The JFK's sentence comes from paragraphs 2 of

Address before the General Assembly of the United Nations. Sept 25, 1961.

Note:
(a) summary underneath the title in print: The company's culture of secrecy is at odds with its IPO plans
(b) It is enough to read just the first five paragraphs.
