Quotables
“I think it’s also pretty neat to see people that you see frequently be able to actually use the benefits of something that you brought to the table.”
“We went from 3 employees to 18 – it was a crazy time, it was a lot of fun, but also a lot of stress to figure out how to actually keep the wheels on the wagon and just problem solving every day.”
“Sometimes I think you can learn more from the losses than the wins.”
