Quotes:

“I saw firsthand how a solid foundation is imperative to scaling any sort of business.” [Chris, 3:03]

“Every successful business relationship has a visionary and an integrator. If you have two visionaries, nothing actually gets done. If you have two integrators, there is probably not much innovation. You do need this complementary act to really be successful.” [Nick, 5:52]

“Delegating and elevating is a great tool to do on your own, but it is also a great tool to do as a team, because in a good-natured way you can kind of call BS on each other and fill in the gaps.” [Chris,16:08]

“I just have this amazing appreciation for entrepreneurs. You know you're sticking your neck out there, you are having the possibility of paying to go to work, something that most people would never ever fathom, and you're taking these financial and emotional risks for basically something that’s going to stimulate our economy.” [Chris, 34:43]

“Moving these blockers, creating these processes, creating this structure no matter how big you are, it is going to make you enjoy going to work every day. It is going to be the heavy lifting upfront, but then you’re going to be smooth sailing.” [Nick, 36:42]
