I'm going to embrace the suck of losing so quickly and move on. Because your greatest victories didn't come without losses preceding them." - Davie Holt "One of the greatest things I took away is that the best presidents in United States history surrounded themselves with people that kind of disagreed with them." - Davie Holt "Diversity, we need some diverse thoughts and different ideas. We all do. On the vendor side, for us out in the production world at the carrier level, a little extra diversity wouldn't hurt anybody." - Davie Holt Resources Mentioned: Davie Holt LinkedIn Imperial PFS Reach out to Jason Cass  Agency Intelligence
