QUOTES FROM JASON
“But then cars and girls got to be interesting, so coins went by the wayside. And then cars and girls got to be a big pain in butt, so coins came back. So me and my buddy Bill started buying and selling coins just out of our house. You know, put a little small ad in the newspaper, so I am dating myself.”
“And you've got to work way harder than you think you need to in order to be successful in whatever it is you're going to do.”
“You got to be good at numbers. You got to be good with people. If you're not good at both of those, this is not the industry for you, but get an understanding of what the day to day process looks like for whatever it is you're going to go into.”
