Tweetable Quotes:

"It comes down to what someone’s goal is and how a different strategy can help them achieve that goal.” - Marcus Long

“I wanted to put myself in a position that when the time came to make a decision, it wasn’t the paycheck that made that decision. If I was still passionate about the mission, if I still wanted to do the job, that I could stay and do it. That if I was ready to move on, it wasn’t the dollar sign that kept me in there.” - Marcus Long
