Quotes:
"If you show up every day with curiosity and truly caring about getting better, over time, three months will go by, 6 months will go by, all of a sudden, a couple years go by and you just kind of laugh at where you were, just because you showed up every day" [Nick, 2:21]
"Really audio your calendar and look at your week…how many hours are you teaching? How many hours are you doing admin work? How many hours are you developing instructors? How many hours are you putting towards marketing? Just kind of break down that week of where your hours are going. How do you make sure you dedicate one to three hours to just trying to get better?" [Nick, 17:02]
"If you're willing to dig in, experiment and keep learning, you can build the same systems and strategies that a consultant would walk you through, at a fraction of the cost." [Nick, 27:30]

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
