Important Quotes:
Alister Esam
[15:01] “When you find out why people aren’t following the process, you actually learn something about how you can do it better.”
[18:05] “You’ve got to learn that you’re not going to get everything right the first time. The mistakes will teach you the correct way to do things.”
[19:27] “If you can be patient, there’s magic in what they say because they’re saying things that you would never get.”
[22:43] “When you say process, people just go for the status quo. And to me, it’s the exact opposite. Be what makes you achieve wonderful things in your business.”
Matt Wolach
[07:24] “Sometimes, as founders, as CEOs, we get caught working in the business too much instead of working on the business.”
[20:48] “We don’t know everything, and it’s great to have different mindsets. Great to have different viewpoints and to empower them to want to speak up.”
