  • Quotes

    "The connectedness plus the focus on our clients has been our growth engine, and we've never felt the need to go outside of that because we have all the growth we can handle as it is." ~ Andy Peters


    "At the end of the day, this is a relationship business. We take care of clients, and clients trust us to take care of them. Technology is important. AI will probably become increasingly important in some ways, but I don't think any of that replaces the need for the personal connection we have with our clients." ~ Andy Peters


    "We can't be everything to everyone. If we do that, we're simply going to fail in everything that we try to do. So, we try to stick to those core competencies where we have the deep skill set and where it's not going to be automated away by AI or other types of tech tools." ~ Andy Peters
