• "Definitely learned a lot along the way. I've made countless mistakes, you know, lots of things that I would most definitely do differently knowing what I do now. But the fact that we've survived, I think, says a lot about the people that we have here and their dedication to what it is that we do." - Dan Thompson
• “Along with it, those relationships, they're important, but at the same time, you've got to walk the walk as well and stay consistent and keep on doing that. And, you know, it's not like you can just earn it once and then you're in forever. You need to constantly keep earning that every single day.” - Dan Thompson
• "I think people who provide value, it's important. It's important for people to know that they exist. So it will help us in the long run having more people to work with, more people to balance ideas off." - Adam Niffen
