QUOTES

• "I wrongfully believe that running this business was about equipment and coaches…. And what I failed to build into them was leadership and culture. There was no manager on site. It was just a bunch of coaches and equipment. Oh, and there's no leadership. There's no accountability. The inmates are ruckus. And eventually, it caught up with me." - Dustin Bogle
• "Everybody knows how to ace the test and put on that fake smile. But when you work, the truth always comes up." - Dustin Bogle
• "The second is finding somebody that talks a lot about being an entrepreneur, but in all reality, they're really an intrapreneur, which means they want to run a business inside of your business." - Dustin Bogle
