Tweetable Quotes:

“My name’s recognized… But that doesn’t mean they’ll do business with you because you’re related.  You don’t know what you’re doing yet.  I had to do everything I could do just to be able to survive.” - Gettys Glaze

“Culture is your whole attitude on how you do business.  If things aren’t aligned with the culture, it’s not gonna be a good situation for either person.  You have a good culture, you’re gonna overcome a lot of things.” - Gettys Glaze

“Play your position.  Just do your job, play your position.  Let us play our positions.  Don’t mix the two.” - Gettys Glaze
