HIGHLIGHTS
"Real education is everything that I need mentors, like not these sages that went to college, got a doctorate and come back and teach us. I'm talking about people that have actually done it."
"Transparency is the number one factor in a great culture. We lack a ton of transparency in the business world a lot of times, owners, executive teams or whatnot, that kind of hide behind the scenes of what actually is happening in the business."
"Own your weaknesses, on your strengths. Tell people how to work with your weaknesses, don't try fixing your weaknesses."
