Quotes:

"Everything is about relationships. You can feel like you know what you're doing, but to be able to confirm that, you have to have lots of friends in the industry. People that know you, they know what you can do. And when they have something, they will come to you."

"Listen, watch, and do as much homework as possible. Start small and think big. If you have a lot to lose, put it on the line."
