Key Quotes:
- “If you have a good culture fit, everything else probably is going to work itself out. Because, if they’re not a good fit at what we’re hiring for, if they’re a good culture fit, we’ll find a position for them.” – Bradley Flowers
- “If you’re applying for a job, how do I show them that I’m going to add more value to this job, and to this organization than what they’re paying me. Or, if you’re working for a company, how do I add more value than what I’m doing now?” – Bradley Flowers
- “Being different and being better, and being extraordinary… it’s supposed to be difficult, and it’s supposed to be hard. You’re going to deal with problems that you didn’t expect, that you shouldn’t have to deal with. But, because you’re doing something amazing, that’s a good thing. You need to embrace that. You need to be ready for it.” – Bradley Flowers
