“No matter what level of success you obtain, whether you’re just setting out or if you’ve been doing something for thirty years, there’s always a new plateau, there’s always a new avenue to explore, there’s always some form of growth opportunity; either one you’re dead set on and looking at or one that you don’t see, and so I like to help bridge that gap… There’s always at least one road you can take that no one else is thinking of taking”-  Chris Denson
