    • Losses are lessons. And if they're not, then they're really losses. Acknowledging and understanding that is obviously huge." - Michael McCormick
    • "A big part of the reason that we're in, you know, these positions is because of the fact that we are constantly, always learning." - Michael McCormick
    • "When you surround yourself with people that are looking to grow and have the same mindset, what you take away from those conversations and those relationships that you build while you're there is worth the price of admission. - Taylor Dobbie
