Matt Mochary & Faith Meyer on Culture Building, Leadership and Growth

“You must succeed. This company cannot take care of its people, unless the company itself is succeeding. So you can't have bloat, you can't have dead-weight. You need everybody to be at the tip, top shape, tip, top form, really pushing like superstars do.”

— Faith Meyer
