• "Sometimes that little bit in the corner that makes all the difference on how you put something together, how that really works, or stuff like that. You know, those little minute details can make a big difference." - Zach Link
• "It's so hard to get people that want to believe in what you do and stick around and not just go everywhere else. A lot of people want to want to piece together a bunch of different things instead of focusing on like one thing and helping build up or whatever. Nobody really wants to do that. They want to come into something that's already built and be a part of it." - Nic Staton
• “I try to start off every day with a positive attitude and try to come back to that positive attitude. You know, everybody has their highs and lows. Some days I could be in a low spot for a couple of days there, but I still kind of do what I have to do day in and day out and focus on long-term objectives there, you know, I chose what I'm doing here. I know what the end goal is, so focusing on trying to get to that end objective.” - Zach Link
