Notable Quotes:

“I want to write a book someday called The Power of Being Second Fiddle and I’ll tell you, my career exploded when I was willing to be second fiddle - to play second fiddle. And I always say that second fiddle in the greatest orchestra in the world is way better than being first fiddle in a local little community symphony.”

“I always say that your greatest weakness is your greatest strength carried to its extreme”

“The perfect place for you is the intersection of your strengths & gifts and the marketplace needs and that’s going to be your sweet spot for building a business”
