Quotables:
- “I learned everything I learned by failing and doing things the wrong way, and then looking at success and saying how can I replicate that success, because Imitation is the best form of flattery.”
- “Partner with someone that challenges you, your personalities might not always match and you might not always agree but that challenge is what forces you to think.”
- “Think job or joy if it’s something you like but it’s not going to bring in as much money you’re not going to promote that as much, but if it’s the one that you can do well and really bring in the dollars that’s the one you’re going to market.”
