Tweetable Quotes:
“The first and foremost concern is really, who is running that deal? Because you can have the most smoking deal on paper in the world, [but] when it comes down to it, it's about the execution. Do the people that are running the particular deal, you know, have your best interests in mind, and do they have the experience to allow them to achieve what they're saying they can achieve? ” – Marc Weisi
“It just comes down to, you know, putting your head down and doing the work when it's required…. Once we [Marc and an LP] figured out that that deal was going sideways, and we kind of turned it around. That gave us a little bit of confidence. And we started to look out, okay, let's do a deal on our own here. And that, you know, obviously, we had a little bit of a learning lesson along the way there.” – Marc Weisi
