Quotables
“You don’t have to be doing this in your backyard. Pick the area, follow the money, go where the big boys are going.”
“I think when we over-engineer a process or system, it actually removes your ability to be flexible and being able to adapt to different things.”
“My first mentor in the space basically said every meeting is important, even if it doesn’t put a check in your pocket.”
