    • Key Quotes:

    • “I think in this industry, any sales position, you have to be willing to just kind of throw yourself in the fire.” - Zach Simmonds
    • “I think people genuinely, for the most part, do want to help younger people in their career. When you show that you're willing to put the work in, I think not only the people you work with, but the people that are clients want to help out.” - Zach Simmonds
    • “There’s a lot of things that I think sometimes you can assume a business owner understands it, because you see business owners that do...but, there's business owners that really don't want to get in the weeds with what we do, and you’ve got to help them see how it impacts them.” - Zach Simmonds
