Tweetable Quotes:

“I think when you do that and lay out those reasons to have people fired, It's just a form of flattery. I think it's something that I have used throughout my career with great success.” - Josh Gurley

“I think just being that transparent person in saying these kinds of things to people and just cleaning up some things are really easy. Using the rules that are available to me like the tax code, it just makes it easier.” - Josh Gurley

“If there's a brand new person that listens to this podcast and you want to go produce a million dollars in revenue, then I would tell you the formula is pretty easy. There's a lot of ancillary and infrastructure stuff that as your agency grows you have to deal with. At the end of the day, it's just about talking to people and sharing your story with them and being a helpful person.” - Josh Gurley
