“Culture is descending. It starts at the top and must be promoted and literally kept alive by the leader and the leadership team.” (06:53)

“How you define and defends your cores will often determine your ability to grow and scale your business.” (08:08)

“The deeper that your relationship is with those that you’re leading, the more effective you’ll be in leading them.” (10:55)

“Leadership and trust go hand in hand. They’re very interrelated and both are about relationship.” (13:31)
