“The main thing that resonated with me was that while all our companies might evolve to offer different services over time, the overall vision that took us there, and that we were trying to attain, wouldn’t change.

“Friendship is also about being able to have those difficult conversations! Your closest friends are just that because they’re not afraid to call you out – and you should do the same for them. If you care about a person, you have a responsibility to hold them accountable (and they you); ultimately, it makes for a stronger bond.”
