Quotes from Episode:
- I don’t care if it failed, but you’re gonna try. And if it failed, you’re going to figure out why it did, and you’re still gonna finish the deed.
- We won’t achieve anything if everyone keeps everything to themselves.
- I’m looking for services that lead with empathy, not sympathy.
