Quotes

“The general who makes many calculations before battle will have many victories.” – Jeramie Worley

“I’m focused on people who want to do more with their lives, who feel like they've been underserved or overlooked by the world, but believe they have something special to offer. I’ll help them bring that out and become the salt and light they need to make an impact on the world. We only get one go-round, so you might as well have the resources to make it count.”– Jeramie Worley
