It's ironic that no matter where I go, I meet people from Brooklyn. I'm proud of that heritage. It's where I'm from, who I am.

I grew up in a working class family where there was no health insurance. I saw first hand the fracturing of the American dream and the bitterness that comes when there is no hope and a lot of despair. So I wanted to build the company, in a sense, that my father never got a chance to work for.

Success is empty if you arrive at the finish line alone.

Good results is not an entitlement. It has to be earned and earned each individual working day via the lens of humility.

At an early age, my mother gave me this feeling that anything is possible, and I believe that.

People want to be part of something larger than themselves. They want to be part of something they're really proud of, that they'll fight for, sacrifice for, that they trust.

Everyone starts strong. Success comes to those with unwavering commitment to be at the end.
