    • Tweetable Quotes:

    • "If you lead with surety, or find a way to help people get access to a bonding capacity that they didn't have prior or let them at least know that they can be bonded, because a lot of them don't, that's stickier than anything else." - Zach Mefferd
    • "You don't have to be the most polished, your pitch doesn't have to be elaborate. You just have to put in the work and be consistent." - Zach Mefferd
    • "I think it's really hard to understand all the stresses of being an entrepreneur, whether it's insurance or anything else without actually doing it." - Zach Mefferd
