Other Quotes From the Chat with Chuck Blakeman:
“I love the process of transformation, what I’m interested in is when you’re done with me, something has changed, when you’re done with me you can point out something and say were different because we worked with these guys”
”If you’re trying to make money, then you’re likely to make very little of it, if you have a bigger reason to be in business, if you’re doing something missional, and something you’re passionate about then you’re likely to make money”
