2. “I really love getting it started and then handing it off to others to make it their own. Understanding what I call that fractional hierarchy of need is important.” - A.S.

3. “Deposit that will pay off dividends. When you open your eyes, you blink. It's five years later and you've been putting in those deposits. It's pretty significant.” - A.S.

4. “Success comes from learning how to be a better manager of people, and understanding your team's strengths and weaknesses and what makes them tick.” - A.S.
