QUOTES
- “I think the biggest learning lesson that I had was a lot of us overcomplicate business and success. We think it's going to take a lot more work than it actually usually does because we overthink every step of the process and we want it to be perfect.” - Adam McChesney
- "When you don't lead by that money and you lead by value, everything else just falls into place." - Blake Elsner
- "You can't put a price on authority. You can't put a price on integrity and you can't put a price on your core value. So in this season, in 2024, I've taken more losses, more lumps than I've ever had." - Adam McChesney
