Key Quote:
“What I want to bridge the gap to, is helping people understand when you leave somebody else's corporate construct, you're not wrong in being subjective about not fitting in. One of the greatest struggles you had in transitioning no different than I did was a perverse sense of loyalty… But your own business doesn't have to be that way. bridging that gap to having the ability to make that decision for yourself.” – Zack Knight
