Tweetable Quotes:

  • “When you say setting that expectation, the best way to teach is the best way it is understood. Sometimes, the best way to sell is the best way that it’s taken.” – Jason Cass
  • “I think that when you’re trying to place people there, sometimes that’s hard. Sometimes it’s really easy but I think that you can look at your own self, right? You can say that if birds flock together, who am I hanging around with? What am I doing? I want that picture that I eventually create to not have a ton of people on it. I noticed that I have specific people in my life for specific reasons.” – Jason Cass
  • “I think that we need to be more open and I think one of the things we can do that’s very simple is when we decide we’re going to hire, we’re going to make sure that we’re going to at least interview. We didn’t say we had to hire them, we’re just going to at least interview them.” – Jason Cass
