Quotes
“To me, that’s what limitless is…it’s putting the time and effort, not only to have the skills, but to also hone and develop and create and do the things and lean into the things that are hard, and when you do hard things eventually they become easier…so that’s kind of how I look at it I guess.” - Brent Widman
“[To intentionally develop your leadership identity]...what I would tell you to do is to pour yourself into books, people [and] go to events…When you are doing these things, be self-aware enough to understand the things that you need help with, or you need to implement, that’s going to make you better.” - Brent Widman
