Notable Quotes:
“I think the transition that really helped me the most was really focusing on everything
outside of building a company and scaling and products and getting customers
and revenue. For me, what I’ve really realized recently, it’s all about what’s your
vision and your mission and your values and having your staff understand that
and be able to recite it and know it and believe it.”
– Lee Gladish
