Quotes: “I do have a fire. I do have a fire in my belly. They talk about entrepreneurship. I got the fire and sometimes it cuts both ways. I cut people with it and I'm always working on that to be a better me.” - Malcolm Campbell “As I started out in tile. I went to university and I got a Bachelor's of Science in Civil Engineering, which is kind of like getting a doctorate in cement.” - Malcolm Campbell “When I work with cement it's coming from that perspective of how a jazz player just takes an instrument and improvs with it.” - Malcolm Campbell “There are guys that aren't at the seven figure level yet that want to do things inside their business to grow it faster, but they have to master the little things before they can get there.” - Chaz Wolfe (Host) “You catch a lot of heat from the customers and, and I just have kept a mantra for a lot of years. This has been from when I was small and just coming up, even to now. My saying is, ‘I'll keep showing up every day until you tell me not to.’”- Malcolm Campbell
