Tweetable Quote:

“ The biggest mistake I made on this whole thing was right in the beginning, I got the hero  complex and also the Midas syndrome on this. And I was not doing it based upon logical reasoning in terms of sticking to my guns and all the principles that had made me successful.” – Matthew Drouin
