The Growth Mindset in Business: "We luckily enjoy the process of failing at ideas, so we've done that certainly a lot of times, but each lesson makes us a little bit better at each one."— Dr Sam Burrow (00:04:1800:04:32)
Family Legacy in Medicine: "Dad's had this practice for over almost 50 years, so it's real special to them to keep that patient centric focus on them, what’s going to be best for the treatment and be able to actually talk to somebody versus growing so large that you start losing track of that and it gets a little bit more of a larger feel. So we want to be big, but we want to feel small."— Dr Sam Burrow (00:05:5300:06:07)
