“What I’m looking for is a spark of common ground for us to be able to start to build a relationship around.” - Greg Rice

“At the end of the day, we’re just trying to build real relationships, real friendships, just like you would with anybody else. Just ‘cause it’s a professional space doesn’t mean that your approach is any different.” - Greg Rice
