"You wanna continue to try to do your best, but there's no such thing as perfect. And you have to be ready for the alternative, right? What happens when the art of the perfect fails you, and you have to deal with a breach? And I think that that monumental shift in approach and philosophy is something that I think that modern entities, agencies, and businesses, if they don't make that shift, they're just gonna continue to lose." - Gary Barlet
