Key Quotes:
“It's been very much ingrained in me from the day I was a child and on sports teams, that it's not about me, it's about people outside of me, because if they succeed, and I succeed, and if I can enable other people, we're all doing better.” - Thomas Comstock
“It's a blessing every day that I get to talk to my clients. That's the beauty of what we’ve got. Everyone has choice, clients have a choice to use us, not use us, I have a choice to work with the client and not work with the client. We’re fortunate and blessed with a lot of referrals.”- Cameron Pechia
“These guys have families at home, they have friends that they're missing, they have events that they're missing, and we have to really focus on how can we improve their quality of life in other ways? Because they're taking so much out of their daily lives already.” - Ryan Young
