Tweetable Quotes:

“It's never a linear path. Sometimes you think you're on a course but as life goes, things are gonna change, and either we fight the narrative consistently or we just say, ‘Okay, what else is there out there?’” - Jason Yarusi

“When we're not clear because we don't have the questions that seem tough, what that does is that it creates the tough situations that we didn't want to happen because we wouldn't have that uncomfortable talk in front.”- Jason Yarusi

“We look so much at the goal and it seems like that's where the focus is, but it's really the steps we're taking now where the focus has to be because we're going to continually be on the journey.” - Jason Yarusi
