Quotes:
“…I think in this culture of fast fashion, fast this, fast that, we can slow down and enjoy things and enjoy the smile that these bottles bring. And it’s so unique because not a lot of products these days really are doing that.” – Bo Mo, (6:04)
“…What we need is the next generation of people coming up…to give back selflessly, without expecting anything in return and saying, ‘Hey, if I give back to this community, we’re all better for it. I’m better for it.’” – Calvin Smith, (17:42)
“…The constraints that you have on yourself [are]…only in your mind. If you let that go, anything is possible and you can achieve anything. And we’re a prime example with the Razorbacks. But again, we’re just scratching the surface. And that’s motivation to people in the entrepreneurial world, and you can do anything, but don’t just settle for scratching the surface – keep on grinding, keep on getting better.” – Ronnie Brewer, (26:05)
