You have an opportunity with an industry that is at a once in a lifetime point of inflection where its future is going to be completely different than its past. We go our whole lives looking for opportunities that are as large and as meaningful as the this one.
I think everything's changing all the time. I think it's changing so fast we don't even really realize the change is happening.
And consider that the Fortune 500 we see today didn't exist 10 years ago. What exists here at Sasser today is the Fortune 400 of the next 10 years. Only the leaders who are committed to improving themselves that can stay with a company and actually lead it.
Effectively assembling the right team who really feels like they can accomplish something great together. Nothing can bring you down.
We always had the feeling deep inside that we were onto something. We're not. In a world where you can start a business or you have a bad place to work.

How do you make it an amazing place for people to do the best work of their lives?
How do you make sure that people feel the opportunity to take initiative? What am I missing? Why are we not growing faster? 5x9x10x we've never seen growth rates like this.
