Quotes from the Show

"If you want to see certain leadership qualities or values in others, you have to model them because they're looking up to you and you have to pour into other people."

"Great leaders want to be held accountable. Right? When you want to get better, you hire the life coach, the fitness coach, the business consultant, because you want to be held accountable to a higher potential, and I think you need to instill that in your organization as well."
