QUOTES

12:43 Patrick: "My plan wasn't life's plan because I actually stayed with my grandpa for awhile in Florida then I had to move back home, all while I was trying to build this up because I couldn't keep myself afloat. But I definitely didn't take out any business loans or anything like that because I didn't want more financial liability."

16:21 Patrick: "Systems are huge for scalability. If you don't have systems, you're going to be spinning. It's going to take you a long time just to onboard people, get new deals, and do that. So systems were huge."

19:07 Patrick: "Systems, sales, leadership. I would say those are three elements that I really learned to get where I am."

28:49 Patrick: "You've got to be humble. As a leader, you've got to pick people that are smarter than you, better than you in certain ways, and be comfortable with that and set them up to succeed."
