Key Quotes:

“I think people aren’t setting goals. Once you get out and figure out what you want to do and be intentional about it, then you can reverse engineer all the steps that you need to get there. I think a lot of people never put that pen to paper.”
“He who walks with integrity, walks securely. And he who takes crooked paths will be found out.” – Proverbs 10:8
“If you do everything for the right reasons and you do the right thing all the time, you have nothing to worry about.”
“Your word should be golden. Everybody should know that when you say something, you’re going to do it.”
“The leadership information is out there and I think people don’t really seek it out because it’s not sexy.”
“It all starts with leadership so that’s gotta be the foundation. That’s number one. If you can’t lead, nothings gonna happen – you’re not getting anything done.”
