    WORDS OF WISDOM


    • “There this thing called Nascar where everybody drives a stock car. And the word stock means they’re all the same. But someone still wins, and someone still loses. And they all have the same tools, the same materials, the same regulations, but somehow someone always wins. And they all have the same playing field. It’s because someone has a different skillset, and someone has a different mindset to use those same materials to be better than their competition.” - Waleed Cope
