Quotes from Episode:

1. I don't care if it failed, but you're gonna try. And if it failed, you're going to figure out why it did, and you're still gonna finish the deed.
2. We won't achieve anything if everyone keeps everything to themselves.
3. I'm looking for services that lead with empathy, not sympathy.
