Quotables
“I think that the one thing that I learned from radio is that nothing really clicks unless you’re consistent.”
“I think you need to do as much failing as possible at an early age so you know what it is that you want and you know what it is that you don’t want.”
“You might have clients with great deals but you and
the client aren’t necessarily a great fit.”
