      4. Notable Quotes

      • "Businesses get bigger when they succeed, but they don't inherently get better."
      • "What we don't develop is the skill of translating that to other people. What we don't develop is the skill of being able to assess and understand who's worthy of that type of responsibility."
      • "There are five meaningful stages that you have to go through to get there. There are five distinct challenges you have to face to do that."
