- "Another thing that I find really good too is just treating your employees really well to where they go out and they talk good about your company to other people too, because they may end up having a friend or something like that that catches an interest or whatever that wants to come out and work with you." - Nic Staton
- "If you don't take risks, you don't know where you're going to go. You don't know. No reward without risk." - Jay Arroyo
