Key Quotes:
As a father, as a son, as a brother, as a sister, as a mother. You have a greater impact than just being somebody who moves a vehicle down the road, and there's so many more people counting on you.” - Jon Stanley
“This partnership is invaluable to us. I mean, we've got to do a better job at reaching everybody in the industry. And you can't do that unless you're willing to team up with people like you.” - Jon Stanley
“We're going to add courses, we're going to add various things to Driver Education Network, this is going to be an evolving program and platform it has to evolve with the industry. So, what we have now will not be what we have two years from now it's going to be so much bigger.” - Jon Stanley
