QUOTES

Adam: “Embrace it, embrace working from home. There's nothing wrong with the dog barking in the background. There's nothing wrong with the kid walking in the room. You don't have to say I'm sorry.”

Adam: "To be a good leader, being a top performing rep, sure, that's part of it. And maybe I could argue that you could be an average performing rep and still be a great leader. Are you coaching people? Are you guiding people? Are you hauling? Are you willing to help and share your ideas? All of that is what makes a good leader, not just being a top performing rep.”

Adam: "You're putting your financial growth, your paycheck in the hands of other people. And I think that to do it the right way, you have to have the mindset of number one, I'm not doing this for the money. I'm doing this because I love to coach. I love to develop,  I love to help people. And you'll find your good leaders do that before they're leaders." 

Adam: "You have to have diverse teams. And it's not because we have to check this box of DEI and like, you know, all that good stuff. You want your team to represent your customers that you're selling to, number one, which I think is important. But more importantly, you want folks who bring different perspectives, who come from different walks of life, who have different backgrounds, different boundaries, different beliefs, who look differently, talk differently, believe in different things, eat different foods, whatever it happens to be."
