Quotables

“You have to have humility in order to survive because if you have any sort of ego in that environment, you’re gonna get dunked on.”

“I think of leadership as life and death. I look at every great situation in the world, you can track it back to good leadership. You look at every crappy situation in the world that we wish was different, it’s the result of poor or absent leadership.”

“At the end of the day, what it all comes down to is that it’s about love. God is love and if you’re a believer, you understand that in order to become a great leader like how Jesus was, you have to be someone who loves.”
