QUOTES

• "One of the best ways to grow is to get around people who have already done it or are actively doing it. And you expose yourself to that and stay with it and stay consistent and you learn from that." - Freddy Cocek
• "So if I got the opportunity to leave an impact on some of these kids in here, and they got the opportunity to leave some of the impact on other kids, other places, and that grows… Everybody's got to live up to a standard. We have to live up to these values. So that's been my late perspective and realization as to where my foothold should be is really hyper-focusing on these children because we've poured into so many of these adults." - Branden Hudson
• "And I think for so many people, investing in yourself at least in the physical sense or, you know, investing in yourself and taking care of yourself in the physical sense that translates to a better feeling mentally and psychologically." - Branden Hudson
