Quotes from the Show

"If you're passionate about what you do, and you get out there and you build those relationships, you're not selling anything as a fundraiser, right? You're having people come to be a part of the vision, and you get to know those people, and you, naturally, care about those people."

"I think being around bright guys, and, you know, learning from them, and really back to what I was kind of saying, not to get a dead horse, but sharing common goals, like, 'Hey, we could do this.'"

"I would say, don't ever doubt yourself. And you can do anything you want if you're passionate about what you do."
