Quotes:

“It's one of those business partnerships where we kind of just set the money aside, and we say, ‘Okay, let's get to work.’ Everything is like we're growing together.”

“Your website is your gatekeeper. If someone wants to know more about you, they're going to Google you. And the more powerful you are on that site, I feel like it establishes more of the trust.”

“People are hungry to learn, they're willing to pay for it, and we're seeing that firsthand.”

“If you want to work, construction is a great industry to go into because you have to work to make it happen.”

“It's a lot about the technology, and it's a lot about what's new because, again, with the construction industry, you have to adapt to survive.”

“Bad times do come, and bad times do happen. So how can we try and set you up best to pivot or to make the most out of these situations?”
