If it's just coming down to the profit, you're going to lose the fun. You're going to miss the people, and it's all going to backfire on you.” - Neil Twa“It's no fun having someone tell you your idea is bad. No one enjoys having their idea beat up, but it's an essential part of validating an idea.” - Scott Brown Let’s get connected! You can find me on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook & Youtube.
