HIGHLIGHT QUOTES

[00:53:32] "The need for loyalty as a leader... If you've got somebody and they've got those two things, and you do know it, after a few weeks, right? If they have, then if you're going to call yourself a leader that wants to change people's lives, you owe it to that person to stick with them."
[00:57:22] "Loyalty provides so many things culturally... It provides safety in an unsafe job. It drives courage for people to take risks, to think they've got somebody backing them up... And people want to repay it as well... People would, the people I would ask about the leaders that they've had that I know, almost all of them will say they were there when I needed them."
[01:00:24] "Legacy means... That people want to follow you to the next opportunity because they believe in you, they understand the rules of the game, then they understand what you're going to lay out, and they understand that underneath you, they can become a much better person, they can develop as a person... That's what you've really developed is pride."
