Our Favorite Quotes:
- “I was always an entrepreneur, even when I was 11- 12 years old.” – Martin Salama
- “If I charge $350 or $500 an hour for professional services, that’s kind of where I draw the line. But if I can go out and create revenue at this rate, why would I be doing something at a lower rate over here? It’s way more beneficial for me to find the WHO to do XYZ. So I can do the how over here.” – Derek Dall’Olmo
- “Are you acting as a boss? Are you barking out orders? Or are you being inclusive in the conversations?” – Martin Salama
