Quotes from the Show:
- “So what I try to look for, in whoever I work with is just kind of a first. First do no harm kind of value where you're not just trying to sell a product right?”
- “I don't claim to be the smartest person in the room, ever. I think people within this kind of community I'm trying to build, we can all learn and grow from each other.”
- “I think there are endless ways for attitude involved with technology, especially because, you know, people might think of athletes and technology necessarily in the same vein as we're not sitting behind a computer all day, you know, typing away, but we have such an intimate relationship with technology, in that, you know, rather than an app to order, you know, our groceries or something, we have an app or a GPS system that you know, for instance, pair and a hamstring or something, you know, maximizes recovery.”
