Sunil: “The people that have to say the most are not the top performers, it's usually the ones that are listening more and more patient on calls, and don't want to say as much and analytical”

Sunil: “In a future state of TrainYo, we'd like to go outside of sales and look at how we educate ourselves to get into the workforce as a general thing by addressing one issue at a time”

Sunil: “Should I have gone to university? No, of course not. Right? It wasn't for me, I wouldn't have learned I would have failed, I would have wasted time. And that's a bad thing. It doesn't mean I'm not employable probably means the opposite. To be honest.”

Christopher: “The biggest piece of advice I could give is to always be upfront.”

Christopher: “In our industry, there's not a lot of loyalty, I'll be really honest with you. It's a cutthroat industry. It can be ruthless in a bad way. And I saw people take advantage of that Lucia and I just told myself, ``I'm not going to be that person.”

Christopher: “If you do the best work for the people that have already put that trust and faith in you, the rest will follow.”

Edward: “Every day you have a million opportunities to build new relationships, but I can tell you what, if you're going to crash and burn one of them, you will never have an opportunity to remake.”

Christopher: “I would say that I would call a decent amount of the success that capitalizing your finances has had, not to the way that I financially plan for people, but in the way that I help people when no one else helps them, because I didn't have that when I started.”

Christopher: “The best way that you're going to be able to help people reinvest in people is if you first reinvest in yourself.”
